Woodlot Maintenance After High Winds in PEI

A safety-first checklist for PEI woodlots that limits Dave’s role to stable, already-down material in open areas.

After high winds, keep people away from hanging limbs, leaning trees, cracked standing trees, tangled material under tension, and anything near utility lines. Those situations are outside Dave’s service scope and should be handled by an appropriate professional or utility provider.

Once larger hazards have been resolved, Dave may consider stable, already-down material in open areas. Suitable work can include reopening a private trail, cutting downed logs to useful lengths, stacking wood neatly, or arranging woody material elsewhere on the property.

Do not assume storm-damaged wood is safe because it is on the ground. Twisted branches and compressed logs can hold force. Dave reviews each site before accepting ground-based woodlot or trail work.
