    Our timber land is dying from different problems and the eco wackos won't even let loggers close to thin it our. No fire breaks or cutting dying trees to save others.

    It is a slow death--it takes years for a healthy tree to finally succumb. We had one very large ash next to the house (the roof was notched out to accommodate it) which we had to take down last year--at significant cost since they had to use a crane placed on the other side of the house.

    We have it's "partner" in the front yard which remains healthy (and treated annually).

    We don't have many ash in the woods.

    Losing one of your large trees can be close to losing a loved pet.
