If you would like to read a statement from the DOTD, it is on their web site!

I would like to thank every single person who took the time out of their day to sign a petition that may or may not have effected you! I am forever grateful, and these trees will stand as a reminder to me (personally) to not take this beautiful world that GOD has created for us to enjoy for granted! I plan on taking very good care of this tree for as long as I live here ! Thank you again! From Lisa Estes
