Brutal Tree Pruning Shocks, Angers and Saddens Astoria Locals


Astoria Locals angry and saddened over shoddy and unprofessional tree pruning.

Please see links (Links to City Tree Services, Grants and Maintenance) to city agencies for planting new trees, removing dead trees, pruning services, repair and restoration of sidewalk damaged by tree roots, and much more.

To see more photos of pruning damage, click on the images below to view online galleries.



What should have been pruned (dangerous branches) was left, what should have been left, hacked off!



Top of mature tree chopped off! The shock adds stress and risks health of tree.

Knowing how trees benefit the environment and quality of life, our city goes to great expense to plant trees in our community. To risk the health of a young tree with unprofessional and reckless pruning wastes taxpayer money, TWICE!
