Where we Hate Trees!

about

What's this site all about?

I'm just trying to point out the fact that tree topping is dangerous, ugly, and hurts property values, and to point to information that offers alternatives to topping trees.

Don't you like Burnsville?

I love living in Burnsville. Our town has wonderful small town qualities. Freindly people, lovely old buildings, a beautiful town square, and amazing natural beauty.

Do people in Burnsivlle really hate trees?

I hope not. I think the prevelence of tree topping in Burnsville is a result of lack of knowledge of the detrimental effects of tree topping. Likewise, I think some of the issue lies in tradition: grandaddy topped his trees so I top my trees, etc. In addition, I think that fear-based marketing by "tree services" convince people to top their trees. Likewise, the power utility seems to use tree topping exclusively.

Are all of the pictures taken in Burnsivlle?

Yes. Most pictures were taken inside of Burnsville. However a few pictures show trees that are beyond the town limits. All pictures were taken by me, personally.
