Having grown up as a member of Dec. Pres. and always an avid woodworker I often
marveled at the size of the tree – don’t know the age. As an adult teaching mathematics
at Agnes Scott College, I continued to be amazed at the size and longevity of the now
famous walnut. Having logged many walnuts in my lifetime (40 from a stand being
cleared for pasture in North Carolina), air-dried and kiln-dried them all, I have a store
of walnut which will last a lifetime. Still I’d like to have some of the Dec. Pres. walnut.
Not sure where the wood is now drying, but maybe someone could give me a contact
number. Wish I had a website of photos of walnut pieces I’ve made – do have photos
of them all which I can make available. Bob Leslie

So now what? Will the tree be replaced with another canopy tree or just another little flowering tree?

People who claim superior knowledge in regards to sustainability. I don’t personally know any such experts but I’m sure they are out there.
