      This is similar to a technique known as spiking, and it has been used but I believe most activists have moved away from it because can be dangerous to loggers who may not be aware of the metal inside.

      That said, these trees are massive so rebar probably isn’t strong enough to keep them upright. It just makes it more difficult and dangerous to cut them.
