A flatbed trailer was loaded with scores of potted native trees: Shumard oak, yellow poplar, persimmon, Eastern red cedar, sweet bay magnolia.

Forest Service showed that the yellow poplar trees will significantly expand northward within a century under the current, high-emissions greenhouse gas scenario.

Three local businesses -Keppler Steel, Thompson Welding and Fuller Architectural Hardwoods - helped fabricate the machine, which includes thermally modified yellow poplar.

With the project, the neighborhood will lose some yellow poplars and, potentially, the salamanders living under the rocks near the creek, songbirds, fox and deer.

Sawara cypress, yellow poplar, canoe birch, magnolia, honey locust, Chinese lacquer tree and so many more.
