Title: Picture of the DayCheck out A-Star Tree Experts Forum under the Pic of the Day. Here we will update our coolest daily photo for you to see. This is the staffs favorite part of the site where they will be working hard to get in. These pictures are taken from our daily Tree Removal, Tree Pruning, and Tree Service crews, from our job sites in Oakville, Mississauga and Burlington. |
Title: Earth Day, and Earth HourThis Friday A-Star Tree Experts and staff will be participating in the 1 hour of no power. We look forward to see the stats and results of how much energy was saved. |
Title: Pruning your Apple TreesNow is the time to prune the suckers and branches off your apple and some fruit trees. The branches and twigs can be pruned until the buds break. We are really enjoying seeing some really interesting apple trees that private properties have. |
Title: Humber College Tree EventThis Thursday Humber College is hosting their first annunal Tree Climbing Competition. A-Stars employees have taken the Aboriculture program their and some are presently attending. This is their last week of classes before the 2011 Tree Working season where they then collect their apprentice hours. We have 1 student competing where we will hopefully win gold. The day will be filled with music, speakers, and a great group of TREE PEOPLE! |
Title: Power Line Safety CourseAdrian is taking a 3 day course with the Infrastructre Health and Safety of Ontario. During this course we are required to physically climb trees around power lines and use forestry trucks around power lines. There are numerous hours of in class training and learning procedures on how to handle the hydro calls and hold offs of power when working around power lines. Working on trees around power lines has its challenges, but with proper awareness most common problems can be resolved. |
Title: ISA and the Canadian Tree Fund at Canada BloomsI had the opportunity to sit at the ISA and Tree Funds booth at Canada Blooms last week. It was a great event with lots of people. It is always fun being on the other side of the crowd with more room. There was another man with me who I learned alot from. You learn everyday and take every conversation with mental notes. It was pleasing to talk to the public and answer any questions that they had regarding trees and arboriculture. I am going to the Green Living Show during April, and look forward to seeing the great volunteers and organizers. |
Title: Cool Furniture from LogsWhile at Canada Blooms, I saw this bench. We are definately going to be making these asap. We will see how long it takes to make. We hopefully will be able to create one in a few mintues on customers job sites and leave it behind after we leave from their tree removal. |
Title: chainsaw licence...Would anyone like to join A-Star in April to renew, or obtain their chainsaw licences. If so,give us a call. |
Title: Storm DamageHere is a close up example of a tree failure. Apparently this crack took 2 years until this picture. It started off at only 1 inch. If this was the case, it should have been bolted together with a rod, or 2. The canopy should have been pruned and thinned out. There also should have been a cable installed to prevent the two limbs from reaching a breaking point. However, with all these preventative ideas, mother nature can sure put a twist on things. |
Title: Radio DispatchAll staff is now radio dispatch with personal mike systems. Each person can have direct connections with others and office without having to place phone calls. This will be handy when we are doing tree removals and tree prunings in large canopy trees or are to high for clear conversations from tree to ground or ground to tree. Once a phone call is placed to the office, any staff member needed for converation involvement is only a second away. |
