New Orleans would never have been rebuilt without them

Update from Asheville friend: “this is most of the 12-14 professional tree guys from New Orleans who are staying with us in our house. They have climbers, equipment and are the ones who do the hard work that volunteers cannot and should not. Most are from Guatemala.” Immigrants get the job done.

Nor in our area Rita, Ike, Harvey, Laura all in between. We owe them so much

That is a dangerous job. Requires skilled workers who work as a team to safely remove tree limbs. It’s an art and a science. Damned hard work, too. Watch those guys climb a rope up into a tree - takes a lot of strength to do that.
