Tom, Tim & Keith,

I apologies for mis understanding the original message. Reading your reply I am truly sorry for thinking that you were removing. Climbers that perform canopy studies, recreational climbs or tree camping with low impact technique's are champions them
lves. It is not my intention to offend any champion whether it is a tree species or human species.
Tom you are right the sentence with "toppling" lead me to believe that you were removing. It is my opinion that those that climb and take apart large trees for no other reason than money have no respect for trees. This type of attitude upsets me as
am sure it does to you. There are many that still hold this type of attitude. We have no cranes here. We promote tree preservation, removal is the last resort. I will bend my Arboricultural morals for no person or price.
From your responses I know that you all feel the same as I do on that subject.

Tom Simmons
Safe & Happy Holiday Season to all!
