Public opposition has successfully delayed plans to remove and display a section of a dead Engelmann spruce located in the Shoshone National Forest. The tree features an inscription carved 133 years ago in 1893 by surveyors who were mapping the boundaries of the Yellowstone Forest Reserve.
The historical artifact, which still stands approximately 28 miles from its unspecified reference point, attracted public pushback against its proposed extraction. Consequently, the efforts by wilderness advocates to cut down and relocate a portion of the tree for display have been slowed down.
