Like snafu above, we would like to see some of the older trees taken down before they fall down and do damage, but they are on people's private property and can cost thousands to do the work. We did witness a taking down of one tree, and it was quite an exciting process...well worth watching - from a safe distance!

Some locals were not amused and staged a protest but their attempts were thwarted when it was explained to them that the proceeds of sale were for the benefit of all the tax payers not just those with wood burners.<br />Apparently it has turned into quite a lucrative business and they are donating the proceed to schools for buying new books, which I feel is a good idea! <br /><br />Best wishes,<br />Di,<br />ABCW team.Trubeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15297883125832619352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6520893128143413982.post-7960249654750618542014-11-26T22:27:09.444-08:002014-11-26T22:27:09.444-08:00It is sad to lose a big old pine but I guess they ...It is sad to lose a big old pine but I guess they know what they are doing it, removing it.<br />When I lived at Heifer Ranch in Arkansas a tall pine broke in a wind storm and fell on my bedroom roof, and all the books on my desk were ruined with incoming rain. :(<br /><br />Chris, thanks for teaching us another meaning of clinkers.

I am glad, though, that these things are taken care of for you. Management of trees and creeks involves a lot of work that we sometimes take for granted. I've been appreciating your comments on the blog so much.

We have a huge tree a few dozen yards away from our house, which is in a fairly built up area and I would rather that one was removed. It could come down across any of three houses, not ours fortunately, at any time and it is huge. snafuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07588812293454033077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6520893128143413982.post-57234970420746050102014-11-25T19:11:07.800-08:002014-11-25T19:11:07.800-08:00Trees are nice, and importance
