DH just told me he wished they done that in Martinsburg, WV to a 600 yr old tree, instead of destroying it for a mall.

That was wonderful! So much more loving and compassionate than Los Angeles, where they cut down 400 mature trees to make room for the space shuttle to move down urban streets. Go League City!

this towns act put a lump in my throat, as I watched it from start to finish...such commitment and caring touched my heart

We had a similar situation in our parish. A beautful historic oak tree was in danger of being destroyed for expansion of a highway. The owner cause a stir when he learned that the tree on his property would be chopped down. It was agreed that the tree would be moved. A company of home movers did the work. The tree "Mr. Al" is not thriving on a piece of land there all travelers through our beautiful state can admire it.
