Like other tree service companies, Bluestone Tree specializes in overall tree health, pruning, and removal, especially after storms. But that’s just the start for this local company. Bluestone Tree has become a pillar of stewardship and tree care education in Bloomington and Monroe County. For example, when a beloved ash tree needed to be pruned on Harmony School’s property, Bluestone made an event of it through arborist demonstrations (above) where several of their arborists climbed into the tree using ropes and harnesses and talked about their procedures.

And now, as the founding members continue to age, their biggest concern might be finding and keeping the next generation of community members. | Courtesy photo

Intentional Communities Must ‘Bend with the Times’
John Mikulenka
Southern Indiana has a long tradition of utopian communities, also known as communes. A few of the ones formed in the 1960s and ’70s — places like May Creek Farm and Needmore — have had to “bend with the times” to survive, says writer John Mikulenka in this detailed and expansive feature.
