Thanks for the welcome Neil! Wow! impressive site!. I'm on the Raytowm (MO) Tree Board. I heard about your site at our meeting last night. And looked it up on my phone right then & there to show the others. Will see about putting a link to here from our website http://raytowntreeboard.org/ . We bought our current house because the hubby said the magic words " 4 wooded acres"; being from Canada I have to have trees around me.
