Watch out for that broken tree!

Snow-damaged tree.

Despite the severity of the recent snowstorm, we came through it well in terms of property damage on community-owned land.

One exception is clearly seen on a large mature fir tree at the edge of the mailbox gazebo parking lot. A large limb broke under the weight of the wet snow (see photo above). Luckily, it is largely off the parking surface, but it does need attention.

To that end, we've called a tree service to give us an estimate for removal of the damaged portion and to see if any remedial work is needed to keep the tree healthy. In addition, we plan to have some other arboreal work done.

We also will have them check a large fir in the planted area (see photo below) that is dying and no doubt in need of removal. For safety reasons, we've been keeping an eye on it, and it did very poorly over the past summer.

So, please exercise caution when walking near those two areas while we get these items tended to.
