Tree Maintenance (Back in March)

Here are photos that I took back in March when I was in Ontario. One of my brothers came over with his boys to help clean up the trees in Mom and Dad’s yard that were damaged in a very heavy snowfall this winter.

My brother (at left) instructs my nephews (at right) on how to use a chainsaw while Dad (centre) looks on.

You can see where the tree trunk split and snapped off during the storm.


More instruction about trimming branches.



My nephews practice their ladder technique,


While Opa tells them which branches have to go.
