fishingfinn 42 Report post Posted September 13, 2015 I noticed these trees while driving down to mission island, right by the neebing/McIntyre flood way. Definitely an eyesore. Is it even legal to do this? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Iron Ranger 125 Report post Posted September 13, 2015 We have the same problem at times in our neck of the woods. People taking the bark right off the side of a road. Birch bark crafts?

eddylives 99 Report post Posted September 14, 2015 It is a perfectly legal practice here in NWO when done in the proper manner. (elsewhere??)And yes it is done for arts and crafts lolI know people that do it and before they started they made sure that this "bark stripping" practice was legal and that it did not harm the tree in any way. The no harm was confirmed with the ministry in person. 1 Quote Have no fear of perfection.....you will never reach it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
