Is Commissioner Jackson an arborist? Or even a biologist? Of course you can't tell the age of a tree by looking at the canopy. Duh. "It sure doesn't look to be the age" he says. Does he understand that nut trees like oaks and walnuts take a decade to just get a root system established? Does he understand that once a magnificent tree like this is mature, it can live for over 600 years? I doubt it he knows this or even cares. This is just the Commissioner's obstruction, drawing attention to himself. It's eyewash, his way of making it look as if he's proactive. Or worse, he's a developer who wants that property to put up another warehouse. Who cares if it's a ten year old tree or a hundred year old tree? It's a beautiful tree, it's not interfering with anything, and, at the rate that Tumwater is developing, soon there will be NO trees.
