Comment on City of Charleston Council Meeting by Carolyn Phillips

I would hate to know this tree would no longer be in Charleston when I came to visit. I always took my children to see this tree. Everytime I come to Charleston with friends who have never been there I take them to see this tree. To me this wonderful tree is important as downtown Charleston or Folly Beach Or Sullivans Island, It is a wonderful reminder of days long ago. When my Dad used to bring me and my brother to Charleston something that sadly can never happen again. So please do everything possible to save this tree. Because my children are now 34 and 29 and I would love to bring my grandson who is 16 months to see this tree and have a picnic in the woods with him and this tree.

For the love of God and all he’s created. For the love of the human race and all it appreciates, please dont force the life out of this beautiful piece of reality. Just looking at a photo of this tree can change a human spirit, I’m sure of that. It cannot have any disturbances, it is old and it surpasses all we know about life expectancy. I’ve seen much younger oaks surrender to bugs alone. This tree has purpose and meaning just like a human being. Please leave it as it has been created. Not one human in this world can surpass its strength and if we let it, it may be here till the end of time.

Comment on Important Public Meeting on March 3rd, 2011! by Marc Wildman

Hello

I am a singer/songwriter/watercolorist who has spent many, many, years painting outdoors and writing music while inspired by nature’s/God’s handiwork. Of course this is not a religious petition per say, but rather one that makes perfect sense. There is plenty of land to go around and plenty of areas that can be used for developement. But, once you destroy this bautiful ‘Angel Oak’ there will be no replacing it. These are life’s treasures and God knows we have all made enough money on the natural resources lent to us? Is there no shame when developer’s have to keep exploiting, abusing, and profiteering by destroying the landscape? Put an end to this, by leaving the damn tree alone, and go build your ‘yuppie’ Condo’s somewhere else!!

In my opinion, most developers will do whatever it takes to line their pockets, environment be damned. Thanks to Charleston”s Commercial Corridor Design Review board, this may save the Tree and a big part of the environment. Thank you.

This tree is an important part of our national heritage. It could be the centerpiece of the development and define its character…building for the future while preserving the past.
