The Tenhave Burr Oak

This large, dead burr oak at the south entrance of Tenhave Woods in Royal Oak was under consideration of being removed. In an effort to retain this wildlife tree, The Royal Oak Nature Society reached out to Tree First.

A few months after the initial assessment and report, the city has decided to allow the tree to remain standing! This is an awesome victory for conservation arboriculture and our local wildlife!

Below are some pictures taken on the day of the assessment.
