“It’s just a flesh wound”
From a foot soldier:
I thought with all of the area trees getting cut down lately without notice around Sioux Falls while people are gone or on vacation maybe we should send out a reminder to people to keep a “before” picture of all their trees in case all they are left with is the “after” picture of a stump when they come home. 🙁  I wonder how many new stories we will be hearing about when people return from 4th of July vacations like these.

The notification part is the worst part. You wonder how many over zealous arborists are cutting down trees that have minor damage? Most trees can recover within a growing season.
