Middle Branch approves tree removal at both cemeteries
At the recommendation of Eric Abbey, the Sexton (Manager) of the Middle Branch Township Cemeteries, the Board of Trustees approved to have several large, dead trees culled before they cause damage to the headstones/markers or to a person visiting their loved ones. Initially, Abbey was seeking the removal of four trees that were at the entrances to both the first and second cemeteries, but a request was made to also add in a dead pine that was located at the back of the first cemetery near the McCrimmons grave site. The pine had been rendered dead by a pileated woodpecker. The other trees include two old black walnut trees in cemetery two that area quite literally falling apart and two large and old maples in cemetery one again near the entrance; all four trees are more complicated in removal by their proximity to the power lines.
