ST. GEORGE — A new nonprofit is working with woodworking artists to remove hazardous and invasive trees from Southern Utah and repurpose them into something beautiful.
The Desert Preservation Initiative has partnered with Southern Utah Woodturners to remove tamarisk trees from across Washington County, Dan Beck, the initiative board's vice president, told St. George News. Tamarisk is sought after by artists because of the wood's intricacies and "interesting grains," Beck said. Woodturners often work with wood that is found on the ground and were "eager to collect larger pieces of tamarisk."
The group recently removed a 50-foot tall tree with a 51-inch circumference, dubbed "the mother tree" by the nonprofit's president Chuck Warren, according to a news release sent to St. George News.
