'As a parent — you think of a million and one things, how your child could get hurt. A tree falling was never one of those.' Now, Crystal Clark is launching a billboard campaign to raise awareness about the danger of dead trees.
WAYNE TOWNSHIP — Crystal Clark thinks of her two children, 9-year-old Xander and 8-year-old Ziva every day."Every time we would drive down to the campground, it would be an hour drive, he'd be like 'Mommy did you know? Mommy did you know this? ' So I learned a lot from him," Clark said."He was just such a good hearted soul ... and he just really had a deep genuine love for everybody who was around.""She's my firecracker," Clark said.
Last April, the siblings were killed when a gust of wind knocked a dead tree over at the Indian Oaks Campground in Owen County. It was a place the family loved to play. Xander and Ziva "It's one of those things as a parent — you think of a million and one things, how your child could get hurt. A tree falling was never one of those," Clark said."We want to raise that awareness."If a tree is dangerous, Crystal Clark wants you to invest the money to have it removed.
"My hope is to continue to spread the word and continue to get it out there. With them being on a billboard, that's a thousand more people that will see it everyday. And it'll make people think twice, you know 'Maybe I should check that. Maybe I should take care of that tree that doesn't look so well," Clark said.
