Probably a Tea Party member who didn't want to be accuse of insurrection due to his love of trees. Sarah Palin is a harsh mistress.

I wonder if that tree is 'protected', such as with other things of historical significance. Typically, if the bronze plaque is issued, it is recorded 'somewhere'.

It's protected until it falls on someones head and then it's the owners responsibility.

Do you mention the possibility of that in your report?

I inspect many homes that are on the National Registry. I always, always, always include a pic of the plaque, a link to the Nat'l Registry website, and a warning for due diligence before making any modifications. Gotta CYA!
