I'd like to point out the value of volunteering to get access to urban trees. I collected one (Thuja) while volunteering to rebuild a low-income daycare center. It was in the way of a concrete slab project. A second (live oak) I got by volunteering to work on landscaping at my kid's high school. It was growing into a fence line. By volunteering, you get to point out the "problem" tree, and suggest a solution that people jump at.

Here's the live oak. The picture doesn't do it justice. It has a nice, graceful series of subtle curves to the trunk. Bas is about 5 inches wide.
