Two Trees, One Slot



These yellow-poplar stems had a severe case of lawnmower blight and needed to be taken down before they fell on a house. Both stems were weighted toward the house; one appeared to be balanced fore and aft in the line it needed to fall, and the second one had definite back lean. Our chainsaw students made their cuts carefully and dropped both trees successfully where we wanted them.
