The Elkhart Municipal Airport is getting a face lift of sorts now that Crossing Education Center Tree Team is removing almost 200 trees from the premises.

Students and staff of Crossing partnered with the City of Elkhart to cut down over 100 trees and about 90 tree stumps near runway 36. Elkhart contracted the Crossing team to complete the project in order to comply with new standards from the Federal Aviation Administration.

"Well, we got a call from the airport about a month ago and said hey the FAA is shutting down some of the directional lighting systems to one of our runways because of interference from trees and such. Would you guys come out and look at the trees and let us know that's a job you guys can tackle and we said absolutely," said Matt Hogarth, principal of Crossing Educational Center.

The Crossing team operates as a tree removal service run by staff and students from surrounding St. Joseph counties. Part of its job training program includes training Tree Team members for project such as this one.

The project has been underway for nearly three weeks and those working on it say it will be completed soon.

May 2, 2013 Massive tree removal may delay traffic

Anonymous Meadville Tribune The Meadville Tribune Thu May 02, 2013, 08:30 AM EDT

MEADVILLE Drivers traveling along Park Avenue between Willow and Linden streets may experience delays throughout the day today as the swamp white oak tree in front of Fullerton Appliance Center, 1196 Park Ave., is taken down.

The 51-inch-diameter tree, believed to have the largest diameter of any street tree in the City of Meadville, is being removed because of failing health, Rick Williams, the citys development manager, said Wednesday. Because the tree stands in the city right-of-way between the roadway and sidewalk, the city is responsible for its welfare.

Its declining badly, Williams said, noting that last year the decision was made to give it one more year and now its time is up.

The canopy is dying, Eric Proper of Hazlett Tree Service, who will be handling the removal, told the Tribune Thursday. Its started to drop limbs at various times the last couple of years and its a worry to the city.

Because the trees condition has been carefully monitored for a number of years, its replacement, an elm, was planted nearby about three years ago.

Hazlett will use a 23-ton crane to lower tree parts to the ground as theyre cut, according to Proper, who noted that work is expected to start around 7 a.m.

The trees age, which is believed to be between 100 and 150 years, will be revealed today when rings on its trunk can be counted.

Though Thousand Oaks requires property owners to replace oak trees when they are removed, the city has no such policy for its public projects, according to a Ventura County grand jury report.

Since 1989, the city has removed 128 oak trees the majority of them hundreds of years old but did not document the removal process, the report says.

The report is a result of grand jury interviews with City Hall staff members and research of city documents and newspaper articles.

Grand jury foreman Jay Whitney said he was surprised when he learned the city didnt document its tree removal process.

Its such a part of the community, and its so well-known. Oak trees are protected, said Whitney, a Thousand Oaks resident. Seems funny that was not codified in law.

The city has 60 days to respond to the grand jury report.

Asked whether the report contained inaccuracies, Community Development Director John Prescott said, Well be taking a look at that.

The city requires property owners to plant one or three trees in place of each oak tree removed. The requirement differs depending on whether the owner has private or commercial property and whether the tree is near an existing home.

Because oaks are not protected under state and federal law, Prescott considers the report unusual.

It seems sort of unusual to weigh in on what local development policy should be. Im assuming its within their purview, Prescott said. We are taking it seriously.

Residential clients need to look at tree removal as the preferred option of removing dead trees that did not make it through the winter months.

Fairfax, VA (PRWEB) April 22, 2013

Oak, Locust, and Ash trees are two species in the Northern Virginia area that their leaves are some of the last to come out. Many other tree species canopies such as Maple, Poplar, and Dogwood trees will likely have already bloomed before Oak, Locust, or Ash trees. Naturally this is usually the case, however each tree is different based on where it is located. It is a possibility that if a tree is in decline, it could take longer to bloom than a healthy tree of the same species. Maple, Poplar, Redbud, Dogwood, and many other tree species native to the Fairfax Virginia area bloom the earliest. The warm weather causes flowers and leaves to bloom, so depending on how early or late in the season it heats up determines when the blooming will occur. Our famous Cherry trees in Washington DC are generally a good guide for when things buds start popping.

Spring is such a beautiful season that represents growth and life. It is such an amazing scene to view all the flowering trees and shrubs in full bloom. The sad part is when you look around your yard, and see that one tree or shrub has not made it, and it stands out like a sore thumb. A large brown spot in the yard is never a pretty scene. Especially when its a large old White Oak that has died from construction damage. Most of the time, a tree dies from issues in the root system. The problem is usually underground. Too much cutting in the CRZ (critical root zone) of a tree often leads to negative consequences. Sometimes it can take a long time for a tree to die, while others it can happen very quickly. Trees such as Maples are very hardy, and can live through many inadequacies. On the other hand, trees such as some species of Oak do not have the same tolerance to unfavorable conditions. For example, Red Oaks in our area have a common problem with root rot caused by droughts or dry spells. Fungus will grow from the ends of the root system back to the trunk. Many times, compacted soil does not allow oxygen to the root system, and other cases construction damage to roots cause a tree to decline or die.

Tree removal is a necessary option many times if a tree has experienced these kinds of issues and is dead or in decline. Hazardous trees should be taken down immediately so they don't cause further damage to people or structures. It is common that trees fall onto houses. Thunderstorms, tornadoes, hurricanes, high winds all can blow trees over, specially when trees have a full canopy after rainfall. Trees can topple over, especially ones with root or fungus issues. It is easy to discover if a tree needs to be looked at by a professional arborist. Any signs of issues with the leaves, bark, present decay, trees with a heavy lean towards a structure, dead limbs, etc are all occasions when a home owner should call in for a professional opinion.

Northern Virginia Tree Removal company, JL Tree Service, Discusses Reasons Why Trees Go Into Decline

Atmos Energy budged a few feet from its original plans to cut down trees within a 12.3-mile stretch in Flower Mound as part of its goal of cleaning up its right-of-way for better pipeline access.

And while Flower Mound Town Council members were hoping for more, they ultimately had to settle for Atmos' latest proposal.

Atmos' original plan last year was to remove trees within 50 feet of its easements, or 25 feet on either side. During a council work session Thursday, Atmos officials said they are willing to reduce its clearing area to within 30 feet of the easements, or 15 feet on either side. In most cases, however, the removal will be 40 feet from the easements.

Atmos first notified the town last fall of its plans to remove trees to better operate.

The pipeline system itself runs 6,000 miles, spanning from the Red River to Houston and from West Texas to Carthage in East Texas. It provides natural gas to Atmos Energy Corporation Mid-Tex Division customers and CoServ customers.

Flower Mound's portion of the pipeline equates to about 12 miles. The path starts near the Lakeside Business District in the southern end of town, and travels north through The Sanctuary, the Wellington subdivision and Tour 18 Golf Course. The Sanctuary is the first conservation neighborhood the town created and contains many old trees.

"This proposal gives us something to where it doesn't look like we went through and clear cut the trees," said Charles Yarbrough, vice president of rates and regulatory affairs for Atmos Pipeline-Texas. "And it preserves some trees. We think it strikes the right balance of saving the trees and providing safety to the residents. But you can't do the work right on top of the pipe. You need room to get the equipment in."

Yarbrough said Atmos officials will meet with the 80 impacted homeowners in about three weeks to present them with encroachment agreements and to answer questions. Two weeks later, work is expected to begin.

Council members fought against the tree removal, urging Atmos to closely examine how many trees actually need to be taken down. Atmos and the town each conducted tree surveys to get a more accurate analysis of how many trees are located near the pipeline. As a result, the number of trees set to be removed is reduced.

"This is still painful, but it's an accomplishment for us," said Mayor Pro Tem Kendra Stephenson. "We went from them planning to clearcut trees within 50 feet of their easement to 30 to 40 feet, and we're still going to be safe."

Tree removal to make way for street renovations to the Dundee neighborhood are on hold.

Blademasters was hired to remove 22 trees from the neighborhood. Omaha Parks and Recreation Director Brook Bench told Channel 6 News Saturday the city has worked with the company on previous projects and on one of those the city issued Blademasters a warning to get their paperwork in order. That would include insurance and arborist licensing. When the city forester stopped by the project Friday to make sure everything was in order, something was wrong and the work was stopped.

Bench expects Blademasters to fix the paperwork problem and resume work in Dundee soon.

Some residents arent happy about removing the trees as part of the multi-million dollar renovation plan. They've been there awhile and some residents say the trees are more than branches and bark, they represent history of what once was a town in itself.

These are probably 60 years old, said Dwight Nysewander. Someone told me a lot of the old trees in Dundee were planted in 1908."

In 2013, a lot of trees will be removed, cleared out for bigger and better sidewalks, more parking and more space for families. Protestors took to the streets of Dundee Thursday night in an attempt to save the trees. We don't want the whole renovation plan to stop, that's not our goal, said Sara Nelson at Underwood Avenue and 50th Street where work will include a new streetscape and replacing a water main. Our goal is to try to save some of the trees and the green space to keep Dundee a pedestrian friendly place to live.

The renovation project should be good for business. Melissa Alvarez will miss the trees, but is happy with the plan. "It'll bring more parking to us and bring more business in and hopefully they'll plant a whole bunch of more trees so it can be nice and beautiful again because Dundee is gorgeous and in the meantime it'll look very sad.

Even with the planting of replacement trees, many who enjoy the current trees may never see Dundee again as it is now. A lot of the trees that will be planted, I'm not going to be able to see when they mature, have a nice canopy covering the area, thats the charm of Dundee that I love," said Nysewander.
