The same week my wife's group got a full page thank you for river cleanup, the opposing page was hurricane damage, and it is... damn, we got knocked back a decade or more. So, half, or more than half, of the river cleanup effort is the wildlife club. Their kitchen counter is abut done, and a huge... 4' diameter butternut, white walnut, along the river got knocked over. We got what I think is the countertop today, before we stripped out the sprocket on the largest production chainsaw made. That is a 6' bar. It's a big freakin tree!

Oh my goodness!

There are likely no living trees of that size here any more. There are some huge old stumps from logging up into the 30s & 40s can still be found. There are a couple of approx 32 to 36" ponderosas nearby.

Impressive tree...pictures never do them justice either, but looking at the person standing on a rock/stump and the tree coming up to their waist certainly helps give scale! And much of the tree has already been cut!
