[Imc] Tree Sitting story from AP

[Pauline Bartolone]

I am also interested in this topic as a segment for Life in the Bike Lane or 
for an article for the Environmental section of "Public I."


Lemme know as well if anybody has any contacts in Bloomington, IN, or if 
they find out any other info.


Thanks, Pauline
