When removing trees in an urban environment, we are often confronted with working in confined areas, over structures, or a delicate landscape. Our personnel are equipped and experienced in the use of rigging involving ropes and hardware for safe tree removal, often utilizing aerial equipment such as cranes and man lifts where access allows. Following is a sequence of photos documenting the 2004 removal of an old Oak tree at the Santa Barbara museum of Natural History. The tree was found to have considerable amount of decay around the base and posed a threat to the blue whale exhibit as well as museum visitors. After the decision to remove the tree was reached, Mesa Tree Company was called in. Proximity of the tree to the whale exhibit required that a crane be utilized to safely lower cut portions of the tree to a staging area where they could processed and disposed of safely. The entire job was completed in less than three hours with very little disruption to museum operation and the whale, though a little nervous, made it through without a scratch.
