Re : Hazardous Tree Removal

I was contacted in my capacity as an ISA Certified Ar.borist to assess the health, safety
and liability of two Douglas Firs bordering the creek passing through the property at
the above address. Ken Wishart is the property owner and designated care taker of this
creek.
This house and garage have both been struck from large Fir tree branches piercing the
roof(see pictures) on numerous occasions in the past several years. The large
branches have also damaged the bridge crossing the creek for maintenance. These are
healthy Douglas Fir trees but are nuisance trees causing structural damage. The next
time branch failure can be prevented from further property or physical damage.
Recommendation
These trees provide no shade at this point for this year-round salmon spawning stream
but are hazardous to this home and property. The two Douglas Fir trees should be
removed with care and mitigate with fast growing shrubs and trees e.g. native willows,
Red twig dogwoods and 6 Western Red Cedars to provide shade year-round.
