"Getting such large trees out of the water was a challenge," explains Drew Slousky, ISA Certified Arborist and Giroud Vice President. Our voluneer team stood in the water to complete the tree removal
Huntingdon Valley, PA (PRWEB) April 20, 2012
Hazardous tree removal from the Pennypack Creek was the focus of Giroud Tree and Lawn's donation of $2,880 in volunteer time and equipment to the Pennypack Ecological Restoration Trust. The donation was made in recognition of Earth Day which is Sunday, April 22.
Two giant beech trees had fallen across the Pennypack Creek," says Kirk Laule, Pennypack Trust Groundskeeper. "The trees spanned the entire Creek and were beginning to form a dam. We were concerned about a potential flood hazard and are grateful for Giroud's donation of the tree removal."
"Getting such large trees out of the water was a challenge," explains Drew Slousky, ISA Certified Arborist and Giroud Vice President. "Our volunteer team which also included Giroud ISA Certified Arborists Mike Teti and Rob Nagy, had to actually stand deep in the water to complete the tree removal with the help of our 16 ton crane."
