I was thinking about a clever plan to raise money for the national parks and forests. I thought it would be possible for the government to sell interests in individual trees in the parks. When a tree died, it would be harvested for lumber, and whoever owned an interest in the tree would receive a share of the money. It would be a way for individuals to become more attached to the trees in the parks and forests, and a source of revenue for the government at the same time. Of course I realized it would be a difficult program to set up and would require a substantial amount of paperwork. But I still thought it was a good idea.
