Scot the Pine gets service!

 

This is Scot the Pine, bringer of shade
and home to many birds and squirrels.
Unfortunately, Scot was topped and developed 3 asymmetrical trunks,
and many dead branches,
which creak alarmingly during storms.

Thursday morning, the crew arrived.

They protected the lamp 
and the little free library.
Notice the many big dead branches.

The crew removed the dead stuff.
The bigger piece I am reusing
to delineate garden paths and margins.
Nothing is wasted when you recycle on site!

The small stuff is chipped for garden paths.
Eventually it will nourish the soil and Scot!

If you look sharp, you can see where
the crew added cables to eyebolts
connecting the 3 trunks for safety

Scot is now free of the deadwood
and much safer in storms,
and continues to provide
 a home to critters
and shade to all.

Thank you crew!
