Ah, the redwood controversy. Close to the paper or cloth diapers
controversy. I haven't been following the redwood controversies so I have no
idea what the "black and white" of the issue is.

One option is to buy a used play structure as a temporary solution until the
community values can be sorted out. Is sustainability part of your mission
statement or other expressed values?
