Tall trees are pretty scarce in Wildcat with no conifers over 3 ft, except
on property around Wildcat. Conifers are important as shelter and a
source of insects for the small birds. The school district grounds custodian
had heard that we are always looking for trees/limbs etc to use in Wildcat.
He had some trees that needed pruning and removing one of them 14-16 ft
conifer. Fourth grade boys provided the hauling (dragging) power, the
girls stayed out of the way of all the grunting and sweating. Up on the hill
the tree was given a new life as green snag. Supported and wired
to a pole it will prove valuable for the Juncos, Chickadees etc.
