Hello, I am asking about the viability of a white pine tree with exposed roots. It is in the playground of a pre-K school. It is on a slight rise, and while the tree looks healthy, it is causing erosion problems which only exacerbate the exposed roots. Should we preserve the tree and plant groundcover around it to hold the soil in place? If so, should we attempt to rebuild soil around the roots? Or, should we remove the tree and regrade the area? Or cut down the tree but leave the stump and roots as a play structure for the kids?
