[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.5.6″ _module_preset=”default”]Did you know one of the biggest culprits for roof damage is falling debris from trees? It may seem like the trees around your house are healthy, but some disease can hide inside trees making them weak and prone to falling. Given the windstorms and snow loads about to arrive in Southwest BC, it\u2019s wise to make an assessment of your yard and determine if trees in close proximity could do damage if they fell.

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.5.6″ _module_preset=”default”]Of course, dangerous trees can fall safely in the forest where their bio material recycles back into the soil and creates habitat for insects, fungi and nitrogen fixing bacteria. Decomposing trees also provide seed beds for regenerating trees and shelter for small mammals. In fact, removing woody debris from a natural setting can interrupt energy and nutrient cycles, causing a decline in productivity and forest diversity. That being said, falling trees are not advantageous in urban settings for obvious safety reasons. When planting trees, keep in mind appropriate spacing for mature growth and visualize where they could eventually fall in proximity to your house, power lines, vehicles, and other structures. Seedlings look small when they first arrive from the nursery, but given the right conditions, they can quickly grow to dominate the landscape.
