Another Tricky Task

One of the projects we try to tackle each winter is cleaning up some of the pond banks on the golf course.  Many of the ponds have "volunteer" trees growing in and around the water line, making it difficult to cut and remove them.

Typically we can just wait for some nice cold weather so we can access this vegetation from the ice.  Unfortunately, once again, this warm winter has created a new challenge.

This year we had to use a combination of lopping shears, a power pole pruner, a chain saw, and some rakes to cut and retrieve the limbs.  The job got done, but it was a lot more time-consuming and tricky than usual.
