Sycamore Tree Cut Down After Fire

A sycamore tree in Lower Bidwell Park caught on fire a while ago and tree crews were sent out the next day to cut the tree down. It was a tree that I had past by many times as I walked through the park and was sad to see it go. Another tree had fallen recently in a storm. These two trees were dominant structures that have recently left the scenery of the park. It is interesting to see the changes that occur over the years. I was able to shoot a short video of the tree cutting too.
