This well-crafted essay delivers a strong message without sounding preachy. It's a pleasure to read about saving life of limb by professional arborist,_x000D_ thanks for sharing extremely useful information here.Just wanted to tell you keep up the excellent job!
I love my morning walk around the Capitol. The trees are magnificent. I wish there were many more with name tags. There are many trees I would like to know more about. I am particularly intrigued by a mammoth tree on the Northwest side of the Capitol. It must have been mature at the time George Washington took office. I hope your office will undertake a project to label the magnificent trees on the Capitol grounds.
I so appreciate the beautiful trees around the Capitol. The large, beautiful, and commemorative ones tend to be labeled, but there is a small tree near the southern entrance to the House of Representatives, just west of the House Triangle, that smells absolutely amazing in fall. It's sitting in a stand of holly, but this wonderfully fragrant tree doesn't have a label. I hope you can identify it for me. Thank you for all you do!
