Seed tree cutting offers innumerable benefits to Atlanta as a known “city of forest”.

Alpharetta, GA -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/12/2014 -- Atlanta, known for its reputation as the "city in a forest", has tree- abundance topography, which makes it unique among other major cities. Thirty- six percent of the Atlanta is covered by trees and this is what Atlanta's greatest natural resources are.

With the high percent tree cover of the city, the possibility of tree removal has a greater chance of occurrence. However, there are some appropriate techniques to execute in tree removal. One is seed tree cutting.

Seed tree cutting is one of those kinds that is consistently viewed by many foresters as a sustainable forestry practice. Through this harvesting method, an even aged forest in Atlanta will be produced. However, there must be criteria (which are based on the characteristics of the tree like wind firmness, mortality rate and rate of tree growth, to name a few) in choosing a seed tree.

But what does seed tree cutting do more?

Through seed tree cutting, establishment of a more uniform crop draws benefits of uniformity and even- aged management of the parameter.

Given that it is the simplest method to perform, seed tree cutting allows for easier and efficient operations because it is the simplest method to use. This process has lower cost most especially for forestry activities such as planning, layout, supervision, harvesting, site preparation and other intermediate treatments. Also, it may be less expensive for harvesting because of the higher hectare removal.

Seed tree cutting is also designed for amelioration of site through site preparation which allows it to easily accommodate highly specialized equipment intended for harvesting and site preparation. Moreover, it avoids damage to regeneration since felling and extraction are done before the establishment.

It is also a great help in controlling insects and other disease problems. Also, it is capable of root rots-clear cut and of stumps removal. Seed tree cutting can also be used for dwarf mistletoes and mountain pine beetle for removing overhead infection sources and susceptible strands.

Most importantly, it draws free growing plantation when combined with plantation forestry techniques and fast- growing shade- intolerant species and assures more safe working environment because most, if not all trees, are removed.

Atlanta would be better known for taking good care of seeds, trees and of cuts, other than as the "city in the forest" if they will just adapt the seed- tree cutting method.

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration issued a new memorandum concerning the tree care industry. Affected parties expressed their concerns about the workability of such new standards.

Alpharetta, GA -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/12/2014 -- The Vertical Standards rule which applies to electric power generation, transmission, and distribution maintenance activities to line clearance tree trimming was issued by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration on April 1 and was published in the Federal Register on April 11, will take effect 90 days from the mentioned date.

What is the Vertical Standard rule and what is its purpose?

A Vertical Standard Rule of OSHA are the "particular" standards which apply to the construction, maritime, and agriculture industry. The rules of OSHA aims to hammer out certain agreements serving as the basis for proposed rules with the intention of shortening the process in rulemaking and discourage legal challenges to the final standard while at the same time providing the public the capability to make comments on certain public issues.

The Tree Care Industry Association, being one of the several stakeholders who attended the special briefing on the new rule had a glimpse on the two revisions made by OSHA affecting line clearance contractors. The two areas which were part of the new rulings for the Vertical Standards are the use of chain saw and the fall protection in an aerial lift.

New Rule on Chain Saw Use

Old regulation allows drop starting saw weighing 15 pounds or more outside the container with a clear area below. The new rule of OSHA bans drop starting a chain saw from an aerial lift bucket. This new rule complies with the Logging Standards which prohibits drop starting. But the unclear line in OSHA's new rules is that it does not seek to apply the Logging Standards to tree trimming and sectional tree removal activities.

New Rule on Fall Protection

OSHA made a final rule that is compliant with its 1926 Subpart M requirements which obliges contractors to use a body belt in a "work restraint" system preventing any fall, or to use a full body harness and lanyard that restricts "free fall" to six feet or less and is fixed to prevent contact with any lower level.

Peter Gerstenberger, Senior Advisor for Safety, Compliance, and Standards for the Tree Care Industry Association argued for a fall protection system and stated that the line clearance tree trimmer in a bucket spent a lot of their time working directly over the conductors. According to him, "one of the significant hazards they faced was falling into the conductors should they come out of the bucket". TCIA opted to use a body belt and a short lanyard limiting the fall distance out of the bucket.

Businesses and organizations affected by the new rules of the Vertical Standards are allowed to file a Petition for Review in the US Court of Appeals 60 days from the rule's publication. TCIA is looking forward to having OSHA further expound on the interpretation of their standards and hopefully would make the enforcement more workable for the affected parties.

The Regional Municipality of Durham orders tree removal along Henry Street in Whitby as it welcomed spring activities starting April.

Alpharetta, GA -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/08/2014 -- Last month, Atlanta's Regional Municipality of Durham Works Department performed tree removal along the Henry Street, from North of Highway 401 to Dundas Street, in preparation for spring construction work.

The Region of Durham Works Department provides numerous essential municipal services to residents and businesses within Durham Region. These include the supply of treated drinking water, the collection and treatment of sewage, operation and maintenance of the Regional transportation network, and solid waste management.

Tree removal, on the other hand, was scheduled in early April, and estimated to be finished after two weeks. Right after the project, new trees were planted at the end of work, according to the Works Department.

In addition, tree removal in this case, is for safety reason and aesthetic purposes. They viewed cutting hazard trees down as one probable solution to easily finish the construction as soon as possible as it includes new storm sewers, curbs, gutters, water mains, sanitary sewers, traffic signals and a new sidewalk.

In line with the tree removal, Atlanta suggested a competent tree removal service. The project is expected to be performed by professionals as guide ropes and mechanical equipment may be required for removing large limbs before falling. Experts on tree removal are capable of bringing a comprehensive, objective viewpoint to the diagnosis, appraisal and evaluation.

It is however important to do and collect varied researches (internet is a good source to learn more about different tree removal services) on different contractors before hiring a group of tree removal experts. Remember, tree stump removal is a dangerous thing to do so it is very important to let the experts do the job. Experts in this job must have experience, of course. They must be properly trained and have been with so many tree removal projects. Doing so will get a better result.

Meanwhile, Bob Pattison, founding member of Hamden Alliance for Trees, suggested the workers of tree removal to understand their work and the project that needs to be done with a balanced approach. This is to avoid controversy as where Pattison disputed the tree removal proposal at Hamden forum.

Usually, people don't want to remove trees because of the fact that trees maintain ecological balance. Moreover, they believe that cutting down trees means that Earth has a lesser number of tree species left and this decreases the biodiversity.

Professional golfers expressed mixed emotions about the infamous tree's removal.

Alpharetta, GA -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/23/2014 -- Bubba Watson recently won the Masters golf tournament held at Augusta National Park in Georgia last April 7 to 13, 2014. Watson won by three shots over Jordan Spieth and Jonas Blixt of Sweden, earning his second green jacket for the second time around. He stated, "it's overwhelming, you know, to win twice. A small-town guy named Bubba now has two green jackets. It's pretty wild."

While Watson celebrated his victory, golfers and Masters officials talked "eulogies" about the soaring loblolly pine, also known as the Eisenhower Tree. This year, the tree was removed after being severely ruined by an ice storm on February 2014. It was massively destroyed, circulating photos show major damage, specifically on the left side and top of the tree.

Billy Payne, Augusta National and Masters Chairman, announced, "the loss of the Eisenhower Tree is difficult news to accept. We obtained opinions from the best arborists available, and unfortunately, were advised that no recovery was possible."

The Masters landmark, also known as Ike's Tree, was about 210 yards from the tee on the left side of the par-4 hole. The loblolly pine stood 65 feet high and was believed to be about 100 to 125 years old. It was named after former president Dwight Eisenhower, who happened to be an Augusta National member. He proposed to have it cut down during a club meeting in 1956 since he kept hitting into it. Clifford Roberts, Masters co-founder ruled out the request and named the tree after the then president.

Jack Nicklaus, six-time Masters winner, issued a statement about the loss of the tree. "The Eisenhower Tree is such an iconic fixture and symbol of tradition at Augusta National. It was such an integral part of the game and one that will be sorely missed… I hit it so many times over the years that I don't care to comment on the names I called myself and the names I might have called the tree. 'Ike's Tree' was a kind choice. But looking back, Ike's Tree will be greatly missed."

Mike Weir, 2003 Masters champion, expressed sorrow as well. He said, "it's sad to see that tree go. I pegged that tree many times. Part of the challenge was to shape the ball around it."

The tree holds a place in Masters history. Arnold Palmer (1958) and Jose Maria Olazabal (1999) triumphed in spite of making contact with it on their final round drives. Tiger Woods slipped on the straw while hitting his second shot which injured his left knee and Achilles' tendon at the base of the tree during the 2011 Masters tournament.

Jim Furyk was noted saying, "the history of the tree will be missed and there's a lot of lore there, but my game definitely won't miss it thatmuch, put it that way."
