An arborist may cut some of the loose bark away, but he or she will know how to do so properly to see what is going on behind it.

Hi, we’re Magali & Stefan. We live with nature on a Zone 5b–6a piece of land here in Canada, and it’s an honour to care for it. We grow our own food and help restore native biodiversity to the land.

I have a huge oak tree in our yard. Its roots are protruding above the ground. I’m concerned that someone might trip on them.
