3. When roads are built, the contractor brings in heavy equipment and cuts a wide swath through
whatever used to be there. Occasionally this means a stand of trees. I once had an employee who
used to follow these road builders and retrieve the valuable trees that road contractors would
knock down. Sometimes they would find huge oak trees and walnut trees that are easily worth
$1,000 each. By cutting them into 10 foot sections, they could load them onto a trailer and take
them to a saw mill, where they'd receive between $500 and $1,500 PER TREE! Nobody is doing
this, and in fact, these road contractors typically just burn this wood if nobody asks for it.
