    Tree removal to make way for Blue Water Bridge plaza improvements – Blackburn News Sarnia - January 30, 2024 by Mr HomeBuilder

    Work is scheduled to start this week near the American side of the Blue Water Bridge to make way for plaza improvements.

    The Michigan Department of Transportation [MDOT] said crews will start removing trees in Port Huron --across nearly half an acre -- adjacent to the plaza near Pine Grove Avenue, Harker Street, Scott Avenue and westbound I-94 from Garfield to the Black River.

    The work is being done in advance of improvements that will see the eastbound I-94 exit ramp at Pine Grove Avenue relocated.

    Sound walls will also be built along portions of the project limits and Pine Grove Avenue and 10th Avenue will be reconfigured.

    MDOT said a total of 110 trees were flagged for removal, but an effort was made to leave mature and developed trees north of Scott Avenue, which will support a non-motorized path in the future.

    Traffic in the area could be restricted at times while the work is completed.

    MDOT said the work is being done now somaternity roosting season for bats, which begins in early April, isn't impacted.

    Portion of MT Highway 35 closes Tuesday for tree removal – Nonstop Local - January 30, 2024 by Mr HomeBuilder

    UPDATE: January 29, 2024, 10:04 AM

    BIGFORK, Mont. - The closure of a portion of MT Highway 35 for tree removal has been rescheduledfor Thursday, February 1.

    The delay is due to an issue Flathead Electric had with equipment when they went out originally on the morning of Monday, January 29, according to the Montana Department of Transportation.

    Traffic in the area south of Woods Bay, near Fishing Rock Lanewill remain normal Monday.

    BIGFORK, Mont. Flathead Electric Cooperative (FEC), the Montana Department of Transportation (MDT), and the US Forest Service (USFS) will partner to support efforts removing a dead tree on Montana Highway 35 (MT 35), south of Woods Bay, near Fishing Rock Lane, on Monday, January 29, anticipated to occur from 10 a.m. to noon. This narrow area of MT 35 will be closed to traffic while work is occurring. Travelers will need to seek alternate routes.

    Two cranes and multiple crews will assist with the trees removal. The closure is weather-dependent and will be rescheduled in case of high winds or plowing priorities as required by MDT. If the closure is rescheduled, the local press will be asked to share the news and MDTs variable message signs on MT 35, near Polson and Bigfork, will be updated. In this case, information will also be posted on FEC, MDT, and USFS websites.

    The nearby Bear Dance Trail, USFS Trail #76, will also be closed in both directions on the day in question.

    The tree that will be removed is over 110 feet tall and located on the east side of the road at approximately mile marker 23. The tree, dead for many years, has significant rot around its base. Without removal, it is expected to fall across MT 35. Its removal will enhance safety for the traveling public.

    It is also highly likely that, if not removed, the tree will fall into the power lines on the west side of MT 35. Amanda Opp, FEC Integrated Services Manager, shared, The trees location above MT 35 makes it extremely difficult to safely remove. However, if it were to fall, the resulting power outage would likely be prolonged, because of the limited access we have to bring in new power poles and re-string wire. Being proactive is the right thing to do for the public, and greatly decreases the risk of the tree falling into the wires and sparking a wildfire.

    The tree is home to an unoccupied osprey nest. Multiple biologists from federal and state agencies were consulted about the trees removal and approved the same. Opp noted, From the start, we were sensitive to the osprey nest, and reached out to the USFS, the US Biological Station at Flathead Lake, and Montana Fish, Wildlife, and Parks (MFWP) to ensure there were no nesting osprey in the tree, and that if the tree was removed, there would be suitable options in the area for any osprey that may return in the spring. Ospreys migrate seasonally and are not expected to return to Northwest Montana until April. The trees removal is not expected to impact the birds. However, the nest will be inspected again on the day of the removal.

    A brief power outage may occur during the road closure. Co-op members can receive updates at the online Outage Center: Outage Center - Flathead Electric Cooperative.

    The public is encouraged to contact Joan Redeen at 406-396-1978 with any questions or comments regarding the road closure. Motorists can stay informed about road status on the day in question by visiting 511mt.net or downloading the MDT 511 app on their phone.

    The City Denied a Portland Family’s Request to Chop Down a Douglas Fir. Last Week, the Tree Slammed Into Their … – Willamette Week - January 30, 2024 by Mr HomeBuilder

    On Jan. 13, the second day of a winter storm that paralyzed the region, a 150-foot Douglas fir crushed Sarah and Joel Bonds Southwest Portland home.

    We just watched it come down and got out of the way, recalls Peter Larkin, a neighbor who was standing in the Bonds living room with Joel when the tree crashed into the roof above the upstairs bathroom. In those kinds of moments, the first thing is trying not to get squished.

    The Douglas fir smashed through the roof like a dull knife trying to cut through a tomato. It barely missed the Bonds 6-year-old daughter, JoJo, who was upstairs at the time. It sent one family cat, Binx, into hiding for the next eight daysthe family presumed he was dead until he surfaced out of the basement on Jan. 21.

    The Bonds were hardly alone in their misery. Last weeks storm was the most destructive winter weather event in recent history, and much of that destruction was accomplished by trees. Downed trees and limbs left 150,000 households without power; set a recreational vehicle on fire, killing a woman inside; and made many roads impassable. At least 11 fundraisers on the website GoFundMe are seeking money to assist with damages from trees that crashed into homes.

    But for the Bonds, the destruction was especially gallingbecause they had been asking the city of Portland for permission to chop down the tree that hit their house since 2021.

    We tried to get these trees out because we were like, this looks potentially dangerous, Sarah Bond says. The possibility that it could happen seemed good enough reason for me to take them down.

    The city didnt agree. In February 2022, the citys Urban Forestry division denied the Bonds a removal permit for the two Douglas firs. Removal will significantly affect neighborhood character, based on the trees attributes, visibility of the tree to the public, or past removals of trees in the area, the citys letter read. Tree appears healthy and not dead, dying or dangerous at the time of inspection; tree is [more than 10 feet] from an attached structure.

    Now, the Bonds are without a home, and the city is requiring them to ask for a retroactive removal permit for the tree that fell. Plus, the Bonds will have to plant a new tree in its place.

    I have to pay them for their approval to remove the stump of the tree that destroyed our house that they denied us a permit on, Sarah Bond says. I am in complete disbelief.

    The Bonds story echoes complaints from across the city about Portland City Hall maintaining a high bar for chopping down a tree.

    Brenna Bell, co-leader of the Shade Equity Coalition, which lobbies the city to more aggressively plant trees, fears that incidents of trees crushing homes and cars in the past two weeks will cause Portlanders to see trees as threatsnot assets.

    Im kind of afraid that people are going to look askance at trees after this weather event, Bell says. Danger comes from everywhere. You could have a door from an airplane fall on your house, you just never know.

    The Bonds were denied a permit by the city to remove the Douglas fir that would eventually crush their home. (Allison Barr)

    The citys tree code is stringent for a reason: As the earths climate heats up, cities across the country are touting trees as one of the primary protectors of human life. After all, shade provides a reprieve from the heat, which in 2021 baked 69 Portlanders alive, most of them elderly, isolated and without air conditioning, and living in East Portland, where the tree coverage is scant compared to that on the west side of the Willamette River.

    So the city has strict rules for homeowners who want to chop down a tree. If the trunk of a tree on your property is more than 12 inches in diameter, the city wont allow you to chop it down unless its dead, dying or dangerous or less than 10 feet from a structure.

    In September 2021, Joel Bond sent a form to the city of Portlands Urban Forestry division, which , with an annual budget of $17.5 million and 84 full-time employees, handles all matters arboreal. Bond asked for permission to chop down two Douglas firs in the backyard, which towered over the house.

    In a neat drawing on the back of the application, Bond sketched a diagram to help orient the city tree inspector. (Unknown Shrubby Street Tree, he labeled a nondescript tree near the front of the house. That one could stay.)

    Five months later, the city sent back its denial letter. To fight the decision would cost $200. The Bonds decided not to appeal.

    Almost two years later, Joel Bond and Larkin were talking about that treewhich looked all the more ominous sheathed in ice than it did barewhen it toppled onto the homes second story.

    I hear snap, snap, snap, Sarah Bond recalls. My husband ran past me, straight to where my daughter was, in my bedroom. All I remember is walking up the stairs and screaming my daughters name. It was just silent.

    Joel Bond found their daughter JoJo, covered in dust from the tree crashing the roof, in their bedroom. She was unhurt.

    They found one of their two cats, Max, hiding. The second cat, Binx, had been in the bedroom closet when the tree fell, and the closet, crushed by the tree, had fallen through the floor. The mangled closet now lay in the living room.

    The Bonds, fearing it was dangerous to dig through the rubble, called for the cat. They heard nothing. They took their belongings and their daughter and left the house.

    Even as the Bonds returned home each day to dig through the rubble looking for their cat, Sarah tried to get the ear of the citys Urban Forestry division. She feared the second Douglas fir in the backyard would fall soon, too.

    On Jan. 18, a city employee emailed Bond. She advised the family to hire an arborist to chop down the other fir and document the situation since your photos will provide valuable documentation if you do have to apply for a retroactive permit.

    In other words, the Bonds can hire an arborist to chop down the second tree, but if the city deems an application insufficient or unconvincing, the applicant could be fined up to $1,000 per day that the violation isnt remedied. (Parks bureau spokesman Mark Ross says penalties will vary based on the each case.)

    To add salt to the wound: A later email from Urban Forestry on Jan. 22 told the Bonds they have to apply for a removal permit for the tree that already crushed their house, and theyll also have to plant another in its place, out of their own pockets.

    Im just livid, Sarah Bond says.

    Ross, the parks bureau spokesman, says a retroactive permit for the fallen tree is certain to be approved because a denial is issued only when a homeowner removes a tree without evidence that an imminent hazard existed. Says Ross, Obviously not the case here.

    Still, the Bonds must plant a tree in the fallen ones stead.

    Corky Collier, executive director of the Columbia Corridor Association, a business group that has lobbied the city for years to soften its rules around tree removal, particularly in industrial areas, says the city should trust homeowners.

    The citys concern about unnecessarily cutting down a tree, Collier says, seems to outweigh the possibility that the owner may have better insight and good intentions.

    Bell, the tree advocate, says making exceptions for tree removals can be a slippery slope. Most of the time, Bell says, trees are lifesaversnot killers.

    During the heat dome, trees saved lives, Bell says, even though five trees fell on her own property during last weeks weather. Most of the time, the tree is going to be your friend.

    The parks bureau said in response to questions about the Bonds situation that homeowners are ultimately responsible for maintaining trees on their property.

    Not all tree failures can be predicted, but through proactive maintenance engaging qualified tree care providers, property owners can learn their best options, Ross says. Property owners are responsible for keeping trees safe to prevent injury and damage to property.

    The fallen tree still lies atop the Bonds home. To their knowledge, city crews havent touched it yet.

    On Sunday morning, Sarah Bond used a flashlight to inspect the basement of what remained of her home, carefully lifting pieces of rubble that didnt look like they were holding back an avalanche of material from toppling down. She was looking for Binxs carcass. Then, in the beam of her flashlight, she saw him.

    Binx was tucked behind two of the basements beams, unharmed and blinking in the bright glare of the flashlight.

    The Bond family home became an unwanted treehouse. (Allison Barr)

    Sonoma County extends ban on tree removal, highlighting environmental benefits – Sonoma County Gazette - January 30, 2024 by Mr HomeBuilder

    In a move celebrated by environmentalists, the Sonoma County Board of Supervisors today extended the moratorium on removing protected trees by an additional four months. This decision underscores the vital role of trees in combating climate change and preserving the county's natural beauty.

    The board, which initially introduced a 45-day ban on Dec. 12 as a temporary measure, has pushed the expiration to May 31. This extension gives Permit Sonoma more time to refine the Tree Protection Ordinance, emphasizing the importance of trees in carbon sequestration and their contribution to the county's ecological health.

    Supervisor David Rabbitt, chair of the Sonoma County Board of Supervisors, stressed the significance of trees in both rural and urban areas of Sonoma County. Our commitment to the environment is unwavering. This moratorium is not just about policy; it's about protecting our green legacy and ensuring a sustainable future, Rabbitt said.

    The current ban affects 31 species of protected trees, particularly those measuring 6 inches in diameter or more. Exceptions are made for safety reasons, such as immediate danger, maintaining evacuation routes, and essential fire safety measures.

    Originally established in 1989, the Tree Protection Ordinance is undergoing updates to strengthen the county's response to climate challenges. These updates aim to enhance Sonoma County's resilience by preserving its crucial tree and forest resources. Achieving carbon neutrality by 2030 remains a key target, with the ordinance playing a significant role in meeting this goal through effective carbon capture.

    Over the past three years, Permit Sonoma has engaged in extensive community outreach, including eight public meetings with over 30 stakeholder groups and a comprehensive survey with more than 500 participants.
