Tamaracks won thanks to Eli Sagor!

Yesterday was abuzz with the news that Eli Sagor from My Minnesota Woods.Org had indeed accomplished his mission.

"I knew that Tamaracks could win, but I didn't know the victory would be so sweet!" said Eli this morning, from an undisclosed location. See Eli's prized Tamarack from his backyard.

Investigators are looking into the legality of the online poll that KAXE conducted. "We think a certain E. Sagor had undue influence on at least 40% of the 42% of votes for Tamarack."

If you haven't yet voted, and Eli hasn't twisted your arm, please vote for your favorite MN tree.

did you have a treehouse or a treeFORT as a kid?

What's the difference, anyway? It's love a tree day today and we're celebrating things all things TREE.

You can vote for your FAVORITE MN tree - let us know WHY it is your favorite.

This time of year many people have trees on their minds - they are cutting them down, splitting, and stacking their fuel for next winter (or next week here in Minnesota). They are planting new trees. And they are hanging out among the trees, marveling at the bright green new buds and life out there in the forests.

The other big tree question: have you ever chained yourself to one? Or is that too personal?

Check out this cool gallery of favorite MN trees on the DNR website. You can see KAXE member and photographer Karen Oodhoudt's photos there too!

MN DNR wants your photos of your favorite tree!

Tomorrow on Between You and Me from 10-noon on KAXE we're celebrating "Love a Tree Day". We want you to call in and tell us about your favorite tree - and vote on the poll on our blog you'll see to the left.

Tune in to hear what the favorite tree of KAXE is - and hear a conversation with Eli Sagor from My Minnesota Woods.Org about HIS favorite tree. And how he almost LOST his favorite tree too.
