Tree Relocation Machine (Video) | In Case You Wondered How They Made Parks

I always wondered how new parks get full-sized trees in them- this video shows the entire process and it’s pretty damn interesting. Environmentalists would be proud.

Ignore the crappy background music.

Apparently these machines can move trees up to 45 fee high- it’s pretty insane considering this technology is fairly new. The days of bulldozing trees down and having protesters chain themselves to a trunk might be over.

If you’ve got a pesky tree in your front or back yard that you want gone, it turns out you might be able to move it for around $1000.
