hmmm I always thought that the fiddleback and other "curiouser" parts of the maple tree happen to all trees but was just rare in the rest of the world.

"The RCMP's four-member forest-crimes investigation unit."
The Tree Police[:0]
There's a tough unit to be in.[]

That is quite amazing that the horsemen have a forest crime unit - does it include other crimes, too, like illegal hunting or only crimes against(!) wood/trees etc. Interesting.

Must be hard one to get into if only 4 of them there. Sure a lot of land for just 4 people to cover.
