[WSBARP] eagle tree

[Rick Hoss]

Jim Barborinas at www.urbanforestryservices.com  in Mt. Vernon is smart.

Also consider a Plan B: investigate whether the tree needs to go because of slope or soil instability – applicable critical area ordinances may give a separate basis for removal. Maybe a geotech engineer could give an opinion for this.

Subject: [WSBARP] eagle tree

 

Client in incorporated King County has 4 large Douglas Fir trees together one of which has an eagle nest at the top. Client wants to cut down the other 3 trees (and eventually the eagle tree), but the US Dept of Fish and Wildlife says that she needs to first obtain an formal exemption which must be based upon an arborists opinion. She hired an arborist who instead of obtaining her authorization, talked directly with the Fish and Wildlife agent and told them that only one of the trees was diseased.  I am looking for a recommendation for another arborist (who may have experience with eagles nests) who could give her a second opinion.
