The large majority of the extensive tree work we have done at Tavistock over the last 3-4 years has been done during the winter. It makes it much easier for everyone, members, Supt. and crew, Tree service company. There is no interruption to member play, we have the trees removed, the stumps ground down, fill brought in and have it looking good by the time we fully reopen in Spring.
At this point the members are accustomed to the routine. We still get a few complaints from the same people in the Springtime, but most of the membership understands the process.
I love the smell of sawdust in the morning....
