Storm clean-up

Storm clean up today. Poplar trees have a weak root system. When they become large, they blow over. This one had significant decay in the stem about 35 feet up, but the weak roots were what did this one in. Wood from this poplar will heat an evaporator to make syrup from the maples in the background.
