Chainsaws in a tree

Today we drove out to a flying school to check out a caravan park. As we approached the entrance, we saw flashing lights coming towards us. It was an ambulance with all lights blazing. We pulled well off but it turned into the same driveway we were turning into. We could see the yellow Rescue Helicopter circling overhead so it seemed that something had certainly happened.
We followed the ambulance into the flying school but couldn’t see anything untoward. The Ambulance drove down a runway and disappeared over a hill. We stopped at the STOP sign for a few minutes then turned away and came home.
On the way out we stopped to photograph a tree which has a number of chain-saws stuck in its trunk. The next big tree along the driveway had a number of shoes nailed to it.
We haven’t been able to find out what, if anything, happened at the property. Hopefully, it was nothing serious.

@JudyEv I am really hopeful on that front (that it was nothing serious).

Look at that, so many chainsaws in the tree. I am wondering why they put the chainsaws in the tree. Or is it part of any campaign.

It's just for a bit of fun I think. I haven't heard of any campaigns involving chain-saws.

@ilocosboy They would be old chainsaws that had had their day and didn't work properly any more.

@JudyEv I see. It looks a bit strange that all those chainsaws are there.

@JudyEv could be? i seem've to gotten 'way from the "fun" 'n tend to wander to darker symbolism these days. i keep hopin' lowerin' my involvement with some causes 'll turn that back 'round.
does make 'em stop 'n ponder, 't least 't would me :)

We often come across trees with stuff stuck to them. One we pass regularly has hard hats nailed to a tree but it's difficult to get a photo of it.

There must be a story behind those chain-saws.

Probably during a barbecue or somesuch they decided to collect their old chainsaws and dispose of them in this way.
