New life for old wood:
This winter a call went out to arborists across the state
from the Forest Products Lab in Madison. They have a project
where they want to use reclaimed urban wood to make furniture for the office of the US Forest Service Chief. We were
selected to donate numerous logs to the lab. They are looking
at also using some wood from the USS Constitution and the
tree that inspired Joyce Kilmer’s poem, Trees, in the construction of the furniture. Should be a fun project!
Summer work:
The City of Madison has asked Wachtel to finish the GIS
inventory of over half of the city this summer. Due to the
threat of emerald ash borer, the city is speeding up this
project so it can properly plan for this significant urban pest.
The skills we gain through projects like this allow us to do a
better job caring for your trees.
