- Tree_spiking abstract "Tree spiking involves hammering a metal rod, nail, or other material (commonly ceramic) into a tree trunk, strategically inserting it at the base of the trunk where a logger might be expected to cut into the tree. It is a tactic used to discourage logging by creating a mantrap which may injure or kill lumberjacks who attempt to cut down the tree, or mill workers who process the wood. Tree spiking is also highly effective at sabotaging sawmill equipment. Commonly spikes are placed in areas above the base in order to bypass initial spike inspections. This form of tree spiking is not intended to harm loggers, it is designed to slow down sawmill production. Furthermore, the presence of the spike reduces the commercial value of the wood, thereby reducing the economic viability of logging in the long term, while not threatening the life of the tree.It is believed that tree spiking originated in timber logging labor disputes in the Pacific Northwest of the United States in the late 19th century[citation needed]. It came to prominence as a contentious tactic within unconventional environmentalist circles during the 1980s, after it was advocated by Earth First! co-founder Dave Foreman in his book Ecodefense. In the book, he discusses how to do it and how to avoid risks to the activist and the logger.One injury possibly from tree spiking occurred in the United States in 1987. California mill worker George Alexander was seriously injured when the bandsaw he was operating was shattered by either an old nail or a tree spike. This led many progressive Earth First! groups to denounce tree spiking. Other activists[citation needed] were led to either reject this form of sabotage entirely, or take some precautions, such as putting warning signs in the area where the trees are being spiked. Tree spiking is condemned by opponents of so-called "eco-terrorism" who claim it is potentially dangerous to loggers or mill-workers, although only this one injury possibly resulting from tree spiking has been widely reported.".
