The large white oak in the tennis patio was removed today. The tree had the majority of its limbs removed last week for safety reasons. We will all miss the shade and beauty of the tree but it was becoming a large safety hazard. Damage sustained during hurricane Irene dealt the final blow to this great tree. Arborscapes, certified and professional arborists, completed the work today with the help of a crane. The, tennis staff, the facilities maintenance team and our staff worked hand and hand to help complete this project. The pictures below tell the story.
