With the white stuff still covering the course, we decided this would be a good time to get some work done above ground level. Over the past several years, the large trees in the wetlands crossing on #12 have slowly started to encroach into the line of flight, so some pruning was in order.
Not surprisingly, given the restrictions under our wetlands permit in the crossing areas, removing these trees is not an option. However, we are permitted to treat overhanging branches as if they were growing onto your property from your neighbor's tree. That is, we can cut them vertically to the edge of the clearing limit lines. In the picture below, you can see that visibility has greatly improved (except for the blowing snow).
One thing is for sure, this kind of work is not for anyone suffering from acrophobia.
We have one more full week of February, and it looks like a good bit of snow will melt--we are looking forward to spring!
