    URGENT call out for help Migratory species act willful violation

    We had one of our City oaks loose a huge leader and there are a number of other areas that are questionable.

    Fallen red-shouldered hawk nestling put back up

    Noisy, YES!! but they are like owls when they come back in to the nest when there are young present. Usually if you don't see them come in you will not hear them. And they come in quickly.

    Fallen red-shouldered hawk nestling put back up

    Our back yard Red Shoulders have raised a brood for the second year running. It is fun watching them. Their nest is in a Loblolly Pine about50 to 60 feet off my back porch and deck.

    Cabling.... what do you use?

    I use All Gear synthetic 1/2 inch on a lot of lighter stuff and would like to see a Rigguy type hard plastic fitting for it and the 3/4 inch stuff. I believe it would be a winner. No need to split out strands, jusyslip part into the hollow middle of the material. Only issue I see is reduced...

    Tree body

    Don't let dry heat fool you. I was on a fire in Idaho where we had 98 degrees and 9% humidity. Was real easy to let hydration issues mess you up.

    Tree body

    I wish 80's was as hot as it would get here. Next 4 months we can count the number of 80's days we will have on one hand. Norm will be 90's at least with heat indexes up to108. Keep hydrated, start early and break often. Potassium and magnesium supplements on han as well.

    Burr oak crack in trunk

    Definitely an awesome tree. I would check the root flare carefully around the base and in that spot particularly. Farm implement may have damaged a root a distance from the trunk. I would not condem that tree though and you will get the chance to measure it .

    ITCC in Atlanta...MUST READ

    I called the GAA today which is the Georgia chapter of ISA and offered Columbus for the site. Was told ISA is looking at Savannah but we are a LOT closer to Hartsfield-Jackson than Savannah. Hope they at least look at us.

    ITCC in Atlanta...MUST READ!

    Atlanta has the most dense tree canopy of any city in the country. The police training site has been a controversy for about 2 years or so because of the forest it is removing. Whether they have passed stop gap ordinances to prevent tree climbing I don't know but it seems a reasonable knee perk...

    Sounds like a life well lived! I agree tree time and lately I have had conversations referencing geologic time.

    Changing the Safety Culture

    Do your own internal WC audit. Look over the past 5, 10 years worth of claims and see if there is a pattern or particular employee/crew that jumps out at you and what kind of injuries are happening.
