Five of the nicest and most talented arborists trimmed and evaluated the trees at the Ewing Farm, home of the Book Arts League, 1915 N 95th St., Lafayette on Jan. 29th:Fred Berkelhammer&  James Melton of Berkelhammer Tree Experts, (Louisville); Charley Wagner of Cutting Edge Tree Care LLC (Lafayette), Dan Odell of Tree Care (Lafayette) (who provided a truck and chipper), and Dave Walker of Walker Tree Care (Gunbarrel.)  Participants included top competitive tree climbers like Charley Wagner, a six-time winner of the Rocky Mountain Tree Climbing Championship who has also has finished fourth in the International Tree Climbing Competition.

Working till dark, these generous men removed years of dead wood, and gave BAL advice on the future tree care of these majestic and historic trees. The Catalpa tree in the front of the bunkhouse is over 100 years old, and was planted by the original homesteader, John N. Ewing, as a memorial for a daughter who died in 1888. BAL and the trees are deeply appreciative of this valuable gift.
