If only it were that simple... Get yerself along there and have a look at the state of Swallowhead Springs - a prime example at the moment - there's offerings, and there's offerings... Physically nondestructive? Well, they're not bombs or owt, but tying rocks to branches is quite destructive to the tree, as is leaving non-biodegradeable plastic stuff scattered about the place and wedged into the trunk. If it were left in the street, it wouldn't be called "offerings". It would be "litter".

Offerings I've seen at other sites have been a lot more respectful. I think this wigging is justifiable.
