be erected around the root protection zone before any construction activity
begins. Furthermore, the fence must be monitored to assure that it remains
standing during construction. |

The good and the bad of construction damage. Leaving a tree standing
during construction is NOT preserving that tree for the long term.

 | The tree is going..., going..., gone. The intentions of saving this
tree were commendable. But the large oak was just too close to the
building pad with no real protection of the rest of the roots during
construction. This tree was not a good selection for preservation. |
