Yelp! Baton Rouge needed the public's help after a limb from a dead oak tree crashed through there roof and the tree threatened the rest of their building.
The group needed money to repair the roof and to have the dead oak tree removed. It was going to cost about $4,500.
The tree limb crashed through the roof of their rescue house on August 22. As of September 9, they have raised $4,700, which is enough for the tree removal, but other repairs also need to be funded.
Any donations made that are not used for the tree removal or repairs go back to the stray dogs the group rescues.

Yelp! Baton Rouge meets goal for dangerous tree-removal

The object of this is to report a loss, in progress.
When a class graduates, a quarter of the population vanishes. For members of the graduated class who stay into the new academic year, the effect is strange. The street is full, at once, of unfamiliar faces. What had become a village over four years becomes what it is a downtown district of a small city, a campus overrun for part of the year. A new class comes in, replaces the old class. The University, which is something beyond us, rolls on.
Even administrators and staff, faculty, trustees, chairs, dominions, what have you, peer in for a while, do their work and in more stately rhythm take their leave. There is no permanent living authority to oversee this passage of time. Nothing even to attest to it. The University. Yale, its called, because of a donor. Yale, because its here in this city, in these buildings. Yale, because of a mascot, a color, a yearly tradition or two.
To what is it all fixed? Three centuries have passed. Connecticut Hall remains. In three more centuries, barring apocalypse, Harkness will remain along with Woolsey, Sterling and whatever else. Stone is the material of choice. We prize it for its permanence. Take the Woolsey War Memorial, full of supple marble. Its guarded by heavy doors and warmly lit at all hours. Take its ceiling vault of Mediterranean blue. In decades, should you visit, this will be exactly as it was. The whisper-soft sacrarium in the center of the palm. If any place could mean Yale, for its endurance and memory, its watchfulness over the human current, this could be it.
Sometime over the summer in August? in July? with no fanfare or protest, Yale removed a tree from Cross Campus. For beautification, for disease, for sightlines to Sterling (to speak of fanfare), for whatever reason. Whos to say what kind of tree it was? Now its a stump. A roundish organic thing the size of a coffee table, barely visible above the grass. If you like, you can crouch beside it and count, with a finger, the fifty-odd rings of its existence. You can stand atop it and, gazing heavenward, taste the fifty-odd years of a unique former life. A place with its own colors and yearly traditions.
As of last Thursday this was true, the stump was there. I walked past on Friday to find a large hole covered with particleboard, cordoned off with caution tape. I walked past on Saturday to find a new tree. A young elm, 20 or 30 feet tall. Its leaves are turning prematurely.
The speed of all this should be more disturbing.
The State of Connecticut requires that a paper notice be posted on a tree before its removal. Concerned citizens are given ten days to report their objections in writing. If even one letter is received, a public hearing must be scheduled. Perhaps a notice wasnt required because the tree was on Yales property. Perhaps a notice did go up, but since it was summer and Cross Campus was full of high school students and tourists, no one bothered. Perhaps this was savvy planning. Some would call it a low trick. But each year, a quarter of the people who might have cared anyway disappears. And each year afterward, a quarter more. Trees come out. New trees are planted. The University, insensate, rolls on.

TOLENTINO: Notice of tree removal
After careful review and consideration of public safety concerns, the City has decided to remove four of the 18 mature Sugar Gum eucalyptus trees from the public right of way in the 100 block of E Avenue.
The nearly 60-foot-tall trees provide beauty and shade but they also pose an unacceptable risk to public safety.The City has worked tirelessly to maintain its urban forest of more than 8,700 trees that grow on public areas, including parkways. Coronado became a Tree City USA in 1984 for its active urban forest management program and, in 1993, formed the Street Tree Committee to provide input to the City Council and educate the public on the role trees play in the urban environment. The Committee also maintains the Tree Master Plan and a list of approved street trees.
Coronado actively monitors, maintains and inspects its trees, particularly the larger ones. The City does not treat tree removals lightly. However, public safety is the Citys highest priority.
Eucalyptus trees are known to drop branches in the summer or to fall over without warning. Several California cities have had serious injuries, even deaths, due to falling trees and limbs. With some limbs weighing hundreds of pounds and trees more than a ton, the risk of keeping the four trees is considerable and not worth taking.
In response to a concerned resident, the City conducted an assessment of its 31 eucalyptus trees. The Citys certified arborist found that all but four trees in the 100 block of E Avenue presented a low level of risk. The four exceptions presented a risk calling for their removal. The arborist found that wind gusts of 30 mph could overcome the load bearing capacity of the trees. Trees eventually need to be removed and replaced toward the end of their useful life in the landscape. The four trees to be removed were found to have one or more of the following conditions: decay; recent trunk failure; multiple co-dominant trunks; poor structure with decayed wounds; irregular decay patterns; reduced tree crowns.
Within a few weeks, the trees will be removed. Careful maintenance over the life of a tree can reduce hazards. The City will prune several of the remaining eucalyptus trees to improve their health and lower the risk of the trees falling or losing limbs.
Residents who live on or around the 100 block of E Avenue have been notified via a hand-delivered notification letter. A meeting will be held for local residents on Wednesday, Sept. 10, to address questions and concerns.City staff will discuss the matter of replacement possibilities at the Citys Street Tree Committee meeting on Thursday, Sept. 11, to obtain the committees recommendation for the selection of any new trees. The City Council has requested that another species of eucalyptus be considered. The community is invited to attend.

Meeting To Be Held To Discuss Eucalyptus Tree Removal
In an unusual move, Derry Township supervisors have withdrawn their conditional approval of a subdivision plan because they were not happy with what they called "extreme tree removal."
Supervisor chairman John Foley said supervisors had received many complaints about the Woodland Hills project, a five lot subdivision for single family homes by developer Swatara Station Partners.
Foley said the disturbed area of the land was much more than supervisors had allowed in their July conditional approval. The development is also not compliant with the erosion and sedimentation control plan, he said.
Supervisor Sandy Ballard said supervisors took the step because of the "unexpected and unplanned tree cutting."
Chuck Emerick, community development director, said he could not remember another time supervisors had withdrawn an approval.
According to Foley, "it's a pretty big statement."
"We felt supervisors were not dealt with honestly," he said.
Representatives from Swatara Station Partners did not wish to comment.

Tree trimming and removal will be completed before Aspinwall's holiday celebration.
Ann Pawlikowski, chairwoman of the borough's environmental committee, said any trees that need to be trimmed in the business district will be completed before Nov. 12. Any removals also will be completed by the holiday event.
A total of 69 trees will be trimmed in the business district, and 18 will be removed, Pawlikowski said. Crews also will trim and remove some trees in residential areas.
A tree-planting event will be held sometime in the fall. Pawlikowski said she still is waiting for notification from TreeVitalize, an organization that provides trees to communities.
This will be the third year the borough has held a planting event. They normally are scheduled for early November.
Council President Joe Noro said borough crews will need to dig holes for trees that the town receives this year. In the past, the holes were dug for the borough before trees arrived.
Noro said completing the digging will be worth the cost because of the number of trees the borough normally receives.
Aspinwall has received a total of 52 trees the last two years.
Pawlikowski said a position on the borough's Shade Tree Commission, the group that oversees the trees in the borough, will be open in January. The term will be for five years. For information on the opening, contact the borough office at 412-781-0213.

Trees to be trimmed before Aspinwall holiday event
RESIDENTS of Waterview Heights, west of Grafton, are being called on this spring to keep a lookout for Shane, a koala who is back on his home turf after a confrontation with a german shepherd in October last year.
WIRES is urging anyone who might see a very large koala with an orange tag in his left ear and a defining hind-leg limp to call the WIRES hotline, 66434055, with the date, time and location of the sighting.
Shane first came into the care of Clarence Valley WIRES on October 6 last year after tangling with the dog on Wattle Drive.
Named after the owner who promptly called WIRES then helped to get him out of his garden shrub, the koala was found to be a big 8kg, six-year-old boy with a few bite marks on his rump and a broken left hind foot from in the attack.
He was also found to have a previously broken tibia (shinbone), but otherwise was in the best of health.
Once safely in a carry basket, the incredible network that would save Shane's life raced into action.
He was rushed to the Clarence Valley vet clinic for a first crucial dose of antibiotics against infection, and by afternoon was at the Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary under care at the wonderful wildlife hospital that is second-to-none anywhere in the world.
By morning he was in the hands of the dedicated vets at the Irwins' Australian Wildlife Hospital, where his badly crushed toe was amputated and he was to spend the next seven months undergoing prolonged monitoring and treatment for a wound that stubbornly refused to heal.
As a large dominant male Shane could only be returned to his original home territory, and as close as possible to his pick-up site.
After a further many hours in a cramped basket returning to Grafton, a travel-weary and grumpy Shane was finally freed at dusk on May 23 into a favourite forest red gum tree on Mulligan Drive, some 400m from where he was found.
