Those were well described reasons for tree removal, Guy. We live in the country where these points are not a consideration, but I understand.

Yesterday we had a heavy and wet snowfall, and when I walked the dog through the forest this morning it was very dismaying, because trees are bent and broken all over the place - in the hundreds, actually - and so the hiking trails and the old logging road are totally blocked by fallen trees of every species.

Maybe the genius whose tree cutting skills are the topic of this thread is looking for some work . . .
