The article is frustratingly cryptic, reading it (because there are so many gaps) I was left with the impression that this was talking about plans for some kind of permanent monument at the site, but doing a bit of digging the best I can tell this is purely about deciding what to do with the timber, not what should replace it at the site.

Why not just plant a new tree?

My understanding is that the felling didn’t actually kill the tree. There were apparently spouts coming up from the stump.
