Love is in the trees today! ❤️

Weekends are for being in the forest.

Truck's not even tall enough to prune these bad boys. Climbing is just as safe and efficient sometimes.

[RutterUrbanForestry @vincerutter]

How do we deal with the tall ones? It's as simple as a rope to pull it over and a felling notch but we combine it with MANY years of experience and training to make sure we're safe and dead accurate. There's a shocking amount of nuance when working with trees.

Does this look familiar?

Spruce budworm exploded in Thunder Bay this year and will continue to wreak havoc for the next few years. Call us early to get on our list for consultations and sprays for next year. (call us today even)

Sprucey!

[RutterUrbanForestry @vincerutter]

We've pruned this tree at least 4 times over the past 20 years. Can you tell?

[RutterUrbanForestry @vincerutter]

Remember before drones when you had to climb the tallest tree around to get a picture like this? Or fly in a helicopter, I guess.

[RutterUrbanForestry @vincerutter]

After

You won't notice all the work that went into this pruning. Subordinating codominant stems, clearing from eaves, removing conflicting branches, thinning while retaining interior temporary branches, thinking about the future.

Sorry to everyone trying to enjoy a sunny quiet day at camp.

[RutterUrbanForestry @vincerutter]

We know it's fall because it's fall fertilizer time! The air temperature could've fooled us....

We treat some tree problems, like stress, old age, insect attacks, by making the soil healthier.

Making light of losing a nice tree today, it was just too big and too close to the house. Sigh.

[RutterUrbanForestry @vincerutter]

Know what kind of tree this is? Hint: it's endangered.

[RutterUrbanForestry @vincerutter]

This is limb walking. Not easy and always fun.

[RutterUrbanForestry @vincerutter]

What happens if the truck breaks down while you're up in the bucket? It's not good, but we train and practice for how to be get down to safety.

[RutterUrbanForestry @vincerutter]

How do we deal with the tricky ones? Like this!

[RutterUrbanForestry @vincerutter]

I bet the view from your workplace isn't this nice.
