Big ash removal @ Albert beach today. Cold north winds off the lake

Just a beautiful fall day here at the beach. Its best time of the year out here. Mushrooms are out in crazy numbers in Belair and Traverse Bay for you pickers out there. Noticed a lot of bucks have shed their velvet this week.

Traverse bay, Manitoba

Pretty cool picture from up top. Looking at Elk island on big windy! #arborist #victoriabeach #lacwinnipeg #autonne #canada #blessed

Aftermath of the storm

Tamarack -burns like hardwood -burn hot (23-26 million btu per cord) -fire last longer -very little ash... -forms coals to make fire last the night -wonderful fragrance when burnt -last twice as long as other softwood cords See more

Wind gusts topped out at 102km an hour here in the east beaches. .

Have a great weekend everyone! .

This native fruit is the low-bush blueberry (Vaccinium angustifolium) that grows wild in the northeastern part of North America. Their stands spread on well-drained, highly acidic soil, only reaching about a foot in height. Blueberry barrens, rolling areas of sandy soil...The berries produced from this rugged terrain are quite small and sweet and are far superior to the cultivated blueberry plants with fat, often mushy, fruit that populate markets today. @ Elk Island

70 trees, 3 days... establish protection zone around cottage from the fierce winds coming off lake Winnipeg. This beautiful property needs almost zero tree maintenance for 20 years, a worthwhile investment in your property.

Best office views

66 trees in the next couple days. Time to separate the men from the boys. actually on a side note, our female employees can out work most men 100%. @ Belair Forest, Mb

Pictures dont really do this big spruce any justice but this beast required STIHL 661...3 feet wide at the base. Had mixed feelings about cutting it down but the tree was in serious decline and was a hazard to the cottage . #stihltimbersports #stihlchainsaw #stihl661 #arboristlife #beaconia #manitoba #canada

Swipe Attention to detail. If you want it done right, we are worth the wait. Once the tree work is done, our clean up is still the best in the business. #alpha #forestry #solutions @ Manitoba,canada

Highbush Cranberry......another common local shrub. You can often see the bright red berries linger into the winter months. Produces bright red juicy acidic fruits that are ripe from August to September that are very similar to the cranberry (but from a different family). Makes a terrific jelly or pie filling. The tart berries were used by the Ojibway people as food, while the bark was used medicinally for relief of menstrual cramps.

Blue skies for days.

A nice crown raise and thinning on this beautiful oak tree. A little bit of maintenance on a tree which is a focal point in your landscape, tends to add substantial value $ to your property. #grandbeach #manitoba

Abies balsamea or balsam fir.... very common coniferous tree here in the east beaches . Balsam fir was one of the most used medicinal plants by First Nations. The sap/resin has both antiseptic and analgesic properties.. Resin can be easily harvested in small quantities from blisters on the main trunk of small to medium sized trees. On piercing a blister the sap is quite free flowing. In rainy conditions this resin is also second to none as a fire starter. @ Albert Beach, Manitoba

Over the next few days, I though I would share a few of my favourite plants and trees that are native here in the east beaches and also some of their traditional uses as medicine or food. Amelanchier alnifolia also known as Saskatoon. By far my favourite berry. Easy to pick and absolutely delicious . An important traditional food of the Métis people. They are well known as an ingredient in pemmican, a preparation of dried meat to which saskatoon berries were added as flavour and preservative. @ Albert Beach, Manitoba

Removal of a Manitoba maple, also know as boxelder to our neighbours down south . The sap has been used to make syrup by indigenous people of Manitoba for thousands of years.

Hope everyone has a great weekend!

A little line clearing at Hillside beach today. Big rotten black poplars. #stihlchainsaw #stihlpower #arboristofinstagram @ Hillside Beach, Manitoba

Wishing our neighbours to the south and all our American clients up here in the east beaches a very happy 4th of July!

Pretty refreshing after working in these 30c temperatures #Cottage #country #Arborist.
