The Notre Dame Oak Initiative
The problem with rebuilding the cathedral, especially the roof structure, is that there isn’t enough old oaks in France.
Enough as in about a 1000 and old as in extremely long, 300-400 years old.
Now, if one country proposes to supply such an amount of trees it’ll be practically begging for an environmental disaster. That is, if the environmentalists in this country don’t overthrow the government first.
However, there IS a way to acquire such a number of oaks. If every country that has naturally growing oaks donated even a small fraction of the number needed, the task of gathering enough wouldn’t be so daunting.
If you agree with this initiative, spread this message everywhere you can. We can help Notre Dame together!
