A Culture's Sentence, An Arborist's Burden: Redefining Tree Value in a Changing World
"A Culture’s Sentence, An Arborist’s Burden: Redefining Tree Value in a Changing World"
Visual story told by @Up&Up
What if I told you that our industry’s mindset might be leading us astray? For years, trees have often been seen as obstacles-problems to be solved-rather than the vital, life-sustaining pillars they are. I’m here to share a Redwood removal like no other. This isn’t just a story about rigging and ropes; it’s a glimpse into how arboriculture could-and should-evolve.
The removal of a shattered, lightning-struck redwood in Auckland challenged me more than any job before. I’ve spent years honing my skills and tackling complex problems, but this tree wasn’t just another project. It ...

the convo at 3 minutes is why i love when planners dont use ball and burlap and select trees with long life spans that are apex species in open grown locations, in ohio's human landscape, we think of these as burr oak, shingle oak, white oak, swamp white oak, pignut hickory, black walnut, shell and shag bark hickories. It feels bad knowing people select crimson king hybrid maple knowing dang well that they fail. love the video y'all rule.
Much love, thank you for the comment! Tree selection is super important, arborists must cultivate a feeling of safety around urban trees
Nice worked with a scott from auks. He was pretty handy. Big tree great vid. Cheers
That 090 looks brand new
Trees are the earths air filter purifier
Trees in urban settings means oxygen production in urban settings
Thats Awesome but unfortunate at the same time.
I appreciate it, that's what I was going for
I have been working in Urban forestry since 1989 here in Milton Keynes UK, City of Trees. That job looks to be a lot of fun and slabbing in the vert is a classic move. Thanks for the upload Cheers
If you’ve got any footage of other vertical milling I’d love to see it! Thanks for the comment mate
Carpenters are hacks Masons are builders. I stood atop my brick structure while my neighbors washed away during helene😮
Hell of a tree ..great job mate 🫡
Really cool vid boys
Thank you!
Guys... Holy sh*t... I'm an arborist and own a small tree-service. My God, you guys are DOING IT! Fantastic work.
Cheers mate! Really appreciate it, it’s easy to see the physical side from the video but much harder to see the planning that went into it
Glad I came across this video. What fine work you did. Takes a lot of grit and confidence to take on a job of that scale and complexity. Very impressive
@@Recoates Reg, I’ve been watching your videos for years and this comment means a huge amount to me, there’s a reason we used the RC3001 bollards. We made a bunch of short form content from the job too, it’s on Instagram under the same handle @justanothertreeclimber but I’ll begin migrating it to RUclips too
@JustAnotherTreeClimber-f4o I rarely watch, let alone comment on tree work videos to be honest. Instead I try to keep out of it all. But I did watch this one and wanted to tell you what a great job you did, by anyones standards. So ignore the naysayers, as I suspect its watching your skills and ingenuity that is truly causing their upset. I actually worked as a contract climber in Auckland through 99-2000. Had a great time.
I’m across the ocean from you in the u.s.a., but it’s really great to see how you care for the trees the same way I do. I wish you the best hope you stay safe in the trees!
If you’re into tree retention and timber salvage we’re cut from the same cloth. Cheers my friend!
Extremely impressive work! Your ankles must have been very sore on spurs after all that intense and time-consuming rigging. I'm also really impressed by the video quality and production! Might I be so bold as to ask the price tag on this removal??
Thank you very much, really appreciate the comment! You may indeed be so bold! But I’d have to have a chat with the client to see if they’re happy with me sharing that
I can honestly say I never seen anybody slap a tree while it was still standing wow.
We were worried about damaging the foundation of the house with the shock of it hitting the ground so this is what we came up with 😅
I never would of thought of milling it upright. Great stuff
It was definitely a challenge! Wouldn’t recommend it if you have the option to drop it 😅
Bang on. Nice work.
Scot you have Bigger B**ls than me💪💪💪💪💪💪💪
All that talking about "we need new trees" is not necessary. If there is a region with enough rain over the year. Nature will automatically give vegetation to it, also trees if there is no cattle or something that eats small trees.
I hear that, but you’re not accounting for the fact that we keep cutting them down
@@JustAnotherTreeClimber-f4o Yes. Thats how nature has to serve mankind. The problem is that man is often greedy, evil, serving nature but not the creator. Big cataclisms are caused by sin.
Unreal boys
Well done! Very impressive work guys.
@@thevalleygate625 cheers, I appreciate the comment
That mill setup is amazing!! Great job guys.
Thank you mate, yeah a lot of effort went into the slabbing setup
Nice one. Good Job Scott.
@@totaratree99 much appreciated, thank you
Inspired ❤

Cool project mates -- and a quality video. Great to see
@@metaspencer I appreciate the comment, a lot of effort went into both the project and the video, thank you 🫡
@@JustAnotherTreeClimber-f4o It definitely shows! very thoughtful
this is a prime example on knowing how to manage resources. This job could have been done in 2 days, first day go in limb and prep, and then second day get a crane so that you can seperate larger pieces and have them removed safer with less mess. it would even end up being cheaper in the long run because daily wages of all the workers usually end up costing more than a day of crane opperation if the job lasts more than 4 days. also, your concern about losing more and more trees is good to have, but its not a real concern because there are currently (and for the past 25+ years) more trees being planted than there are being removed from the land. if we continue in this pattern we will end up with larger areas of forest and healthier tree population because we know so much more now than we used to on how to develop and maintain healthy forests and green areas.
Wtf?
I don’t think it’s that simple bud. -You would have to look at traffic control or getting a road closure -And maybe a shut off or put covering on. The power lines. -You might need a bigger trucks to cart the bigger logs These all cost money. I easy to say just get a crane with out thinking where it will park and how it will slew These all So many factors
The crane bill was 80k more than rigging due to the cost of shutting the powerlines off as per the power companies protocols
@@MrOwie20 you’re on the money!
The whole "we plant more trees than we cut down" argument is assuming that all planted trees grow to maturity. That is never the case. The ecological value of a single old-growth tree is equal to hundreds of young ones.
Is that a giant sequoia?
Coast redwood
Why tho?
the tree looked like it had recieved some major damage and looked to be in the beginning of the end of its life because of the damage it took. all trees die. thats just how nature works. in populated areas, they become insanely dangerous as they die off and need to be removed before they get to the point of losing large parts or even falling. this tree removal seems like it was done as a preventative measure because there was no saving it. it would have just slowly kept dying and becoming a hazard to everybody.
@orion7741 looking at all the reaction growth I think it would’ve been able to stand much much longer. That tree has been there for a long time and seen a lot of storms/damage in it’s life. I can accept it being cut, homeowners have a say too. But don’t talk about ‘saving trees’ and ‘we need trees’ and then come to the conclusion you have to cut the tree because it will make you big bucks. Beginning of the end in trees is something we started to decide for trees when we started to work on them. Trees (in general) can keep on going/start over without it being a danger to the surroundings. Also, I know I don’t have all the details on it. That’s why I’m asking.
My feelings on whether the tree should be removed are irrelevant. This tree would have been removed regardless of my participation in the same way whales are still killed regardless of my participation. My objection holds no weight, however if I were to accept the job and use it to share the message, I would be doing more than anybody else would. In that frame, it becomes a duty to carry the burden of taking it down so that I may make change.
@@mreggbird Its a city ffs, not the middle of a forest, what are you on about? People got to live somewhere, and SAFELY. Maybe quit yapping and go plant some trees. There's always a need for manpower regarding it. Btw most arborists are also involved in reforestation efforts, loggers too.
@@JustAnotherTreeClimber-f4o I can see your point, but it is almost the same as saying ‘if I don’t top the tree, somebody else will do it. So I might as well be the one to do it’ which we all know as true arborists would be a bad argument to top trees… I know/understand this is a more nuanced situation than that.
Incredible job and story 😍
Thank you sir! Took a lot out of me
Fantastic example of what Arborists can do Scott & Team!! Well done 😊
Much appreciated, thank you kindly 🫡
This is so cool Scott, you are honouring a magnificent tree.
Thank you very much! Trying my best
Great job Scott, glad the tree gets to live on and its timber isn't going to waste!
To waste the timber would be tragedy on top of tragedy!
