Town of Chapel Hill Park Maintenance

I spent two days photographing a park maintenance team remove a large tree that had been struck by lightening years earlier. The tree was difficult to access without causing damage to the surrounding park trees. The crew did a masterful job under difficult circumstances. Not to mention that the heat index was a 100+ during the two days it took to complete the job.

After seeing this crew at work up close, I will never take for granted what these guys do every single day in Chapel Hill!

A sad note. The day after this tree removal an arborist at the NC Zoo fell 30' to his death during a safety training exercise. All these workers are well aware of the dangers they face daily.

    Final review of the plan
    Best place to drop the tree was right of the tree on the left.
