Stu took down 5 nice Ash trees today and dropped off two dump trailer loads of logs. 20 more trees to go on this town home project. Planning for 6 good size Ash tree tomorrow. No shortage of logs to cut.

You guys make me cry, all that beautiful wood

 

[sam-tip]

Sad is the town home association has all Ash trees. 75 total. Nice big trees shading the entire street on both sides. It is going to look empty. EAB

That is sad. Trees make the city.

They putting out large replacements?

 

[Hedgerow]

They need gum ball trees..
Nuthin kills those...
Lol..

Yeah, it is a shame to loose such magnificent trees. But apparently the trees were going to go anyway. What would have been a real shame is if they were going to be ground into chips, then into a landfill or pressed into little logs. Only to wind up on a store shelf. Doug and Marcy's solution works the best.

What hurts down here is landowners will push trees into a pile, let them set for a couple of years, then set fire to them. I understand their need to have more grassland for cattle and other farm operations. But, for God's sake, let me come in and get the usable firewood out of it first. There really are people out there that desperately need it.

 

[Hedgerow]

Agreed.. If we don't waste it today, we probably won't need it later..

 

[stihlx8]

Firewood or lumber. Don't waste what mother nature has been kind enough to provide us. Burning good wood in piles is shameful. Happens around here alot too.

Planting some replacements. Planting 3-4" trunk size trees. But nursery trees are going for top dollar thanks to EAB.

That's why I was wondering..
Good trees ain't cheap, and these folks ain't got 40 years to wait!!

6 days and counting.



















You guys thought I forgot, didn't you.

A look at the ash trees before cutting them down today. The property will look very different once gone. I have been gone all week. Lots of logs sorting for me when I get home.

Will anyone coming to the charity cut be bringing a medium sized echo? Like 590 600 ish? I'd like to take some measurements.

That sure is a shame that they need to be removed. Loosing lots of shade and beauty.
