The Calgary Woodturners Guild has reached out to the city with a unique proposal to make use of wood from the Stampede Elm.
Norm Olsen is the president of the Calgary Woodturners Guild and is excited at the prospect of making items out of wood from the Stampede Elm.
Golbeck says the tree has sentimental value and it could be used to educate Calgarians about the urban forest. "The person who emailed me said that they liked the ideas and that they would forward them to a committee who was considering what's going to happen to the tree," he said. "But even if the tree is rotten in its core, there's a lot that could still be done with it."
Tim Watts is a board member with the Alberta Junior Forest Wardens and says the organization is open to students from grades one to 12. Guild members say they can provide expertise on how to harvest and process the tree and see the project as a way to appreciate the sentimental value of the elm and increase public awareness of the role of urban trees in Calgary.Calgarians can now pre-order rain barrels to help conserve waterAlex Murdaugh gets 40 years in federal prison for final charges
