Woody

Hi, My name is Woody. I'm a woodpecker and I live in a birdhouse near the 13th tee at The Villages Golf and Country Club. I usually leave my house for 'work' at sunrise and return home at sunset. In the following weeks there will be a link on the Villages website so that you can watch me on your computer whenever you want.

Why Did You Cut Down That Tree?

The large Monterey Pine between the 10th and 18th fairways was starting to split down the middle. I could see that one of the two large trunks would fall directly on two irrigation controllers if it went. I called my arborist and told him that I had an emergency. The tree trimmers came out within hours and determined that both trunks could soon fall, and so they cut both down far enough so they would no longer present a problem. Unfortunately the tree trimmers are very busy this time of year with many customers wanting tree work done before winter, so they could not stay and finish removing the tree. They will be returning to complete the job in the next couple of weeks
