A sad goodbye to our sugar maple

[highlandcattle]

Well, the winter and time has taken it's toll. The sugar maple that has been dying has been officially declared a hazzard. It will come down in the next week or 2. The huge silver maple near the drive that drops entire limbs during storms will be cut back to about 14'. Looks like the other 2 will need to go later. Roots have grown into water lines.

So sorry, maybe you can find another tree or 3 someplace near to tap.

That's a bummer. When we lived on the farm Consumers Power came out and said we are taking these trees down do you want the wood. I didn't have any say in the matter because it is there right of way use for powerlines. Big guy running over the little guy.
