In the state of Michigan (as with anywhere else), some trees are more important than others.

When it comes to living in the far north, there is definitely more of an abundance of some trees than others. Either way, the display of foliage is impressive.

On Keeler Hill, the landscape is one that is ideal for farming. For local farms like that of Cynthia Marquez, trees arenโ€™t always simply part of a picturesque appearance. In contrast, falling trees are a common occurrence with the frequent wind storms that occur during the Mitten Stateโ€™s changing seasons.

Despite having a farm full of life and a typical Michigan rural environment, trees can cause problems.

During one recent storm, Marquez encountered a couple problematic trees that decided to give her problems on her Keeler Hill property.

After a couple trees fell, Marquez requested the help of another Keeler Hill resident, Ben Hunter, to remove the fallen foliage. 

Owner of Toiler Forest Contracting, Hunter is often works with tree situations such as these.

When it came to Marquezโ€™s recent property woes, Hunter said he spent time cutting down the fallen remains of an Aspen (aka โ€œPoplarโ€) tree and a spruce tree.
