HELP PHYLLIS CREATE A SAMPLE TREE DESTINED FOR CUTTING? I want to track exactly what would happen to birds and animals living in that tree. My focus is on animals living in forest destined for mass destruction.

Post your aswers here or on my blog: http://niaih.spaces.live.com

SEND STATISTICS Compiling for publication a Profile, I would appreciate information from math whizzes who would calculate numbers. How many birds might nest there? Squirrels? Bugs?

Some questions: The animals: Do the animals receive a warning of any kind that their tree is no longer safe? Do they flee in time? Do they find another home easily? What do they do when the first cut shakes the tree? The cutters: What do the cutters see when they first cast their eye on the tree? Do they look for nests? Do they discuss the destinies of its inhabitants? Look for them? Help them? Laugh? Cry? Ignore?

THE STORY

PART ONE: Tree Community Every tree is a community. When it is cut, What happens to its residents? Where do they go? Are they forewarned? Do they run away and find a home elsewhere? Do they survive the cut and stay with the tree through thick and thin? Does someone care whether this particular critter lives or dies?

    Following is the beginning of the profile. I will keep developing it, including your input as it arrives. Help tag it for SEO’s if you like.


OUR TREE

LOOK AT IT Picture in your mind our sample tree, born of undisturbed generations. Perhaps there’s are cameras trained on that tree (as in Meerkat Manor). What would they pick up?

BEGINNING EVENT – A MAN WRITES HIS NAME He’s bought the right to cut an area of timber – a hectar, 10,000 acres, a peninsula, a mountain face, an island.

The right to cut: In an office somewhere, a deal is made. The future of our tree is patterned in the piece of paper upon which signatures have just been formed.

EVENT – LIFE AS USUAL. THE TREE IS UNDISTURBED

Q: What is happening on our tree as the signatures are being written? A: Q: What critters live in it and on it at that moment in time? A:

Q: How many of each kind of resident lives on a tree? (example: RED ANTS - about 8,000 red ants live on a tree 71' tall and 2' in girth.) A:

EVENT: SOMEONE WALKS BY, MARKING TREES (help add q and a)

EVENT: (help add events and questions) (example: The animals hear voices of people – they react by…. They feel the vibration from a huge machine – they react by … They hear a chain saw – they react by …. They feel the tree shudder. The squirrel reacts by… The tree begins to fall. The eagle reacts by…)


PART TWO: Tree Products: How many cocktail napkins would our tree make? 20,000? How many toothpicks? How many stickies? How many stir sticks? Paper cups? Party hats? Newspaper pages? Party invitations. Coasters. Business cards. Flyers. Shelves. Hangers. Shingles. Tiles. Pencils. ETC. ETC.
