If I Ever -Tree Saving

If I Ever get involved in construction....

So. the road by my work is under construction. Has been for like a year now.
Because they're widening the road...I think to help with traffic....especially during the Football season when everyone is constantly journeying to the College nearby to see the football games.

And unfortunately....in the path of that road widening. 
Are a ton of trees. 
As the street was lined with them on both sides.

And in the name of expansion....
Those trees are being taken out.
Destroyed.
Knocked down.

Which is such a depressing sight to see.
I mean, I walked out of work just as a big backhoe took a swing and snapped a young tree in half. Crrraaaaacccckkkkkk.

And I couldn't help but wonder if there was a better way?

I mean, couldn't they have just relocated the trees.
Instead of knocking them down.
Taking them out in a single swipe, after they'd been growing there for years and years?

*exhales*

So if I ever get involved in Construction...
I'd want to create a company that works to relocate trees.
So that instead of being knocked down and killed.
They can just be moved and saved and continue to help keep our air clean and such.

There'd probably be a lot of research and trial and error involved in this.
And some trees may not survive their transplant.

But at least we would have tried to save them.
Instead of what's happening to them now.
