Should I be so bold as to start a NFR in this day and age? Hell Yes!

I have a few trees I need thinned, and thought that a few board members were in the forestry biz?.... anyone have a referral or care to climb a tree?

I need 2-3 thinned, not topped, to reduce wind resistance. Even with these 30-40mph gusts lately, we lost a Hemlock last Sunday. I have a couple house killers (huge firs) out there that I want to be a bit less tipsy. This is all mainly due to a new 40 acre development plot that just cleared trees immeadiately to the south of me. The new windthrow is blasting us.

I am only going to remove some smaller 100-130ft. pesky hemlocks, I can do that myself. I am looking for a brave soul to climb the big firs I want to keep and thin out the canopy.

I thought I would ask here before I "dial for dollars" in the yellow pages.

SkyGuy,
Jim Fox, of Fox's Tree Service in Langley (Whidbey) is really good.

I suspect he's busy this time of year, and I don't know how he feels about jobs off-island, but you're not too far for him.

His number is 360-321-2961. He seems to handle himself pretty well in a harness and spurs.
