in Tree Removal
Often during tree removal, we get asked if we plant trees too.

Recent heavy winds left a fledgling great horned owl stranded on the ground in a Bloomington back yard.
The homeowners contacted WildCare Inc., who provided temporary care for the young owl and helped search for the original nest in a stand of white pine trees. WildCare Inc. also called Matt Baldwin, an ISA Certified Arborist on staff here at Bluestone Tree.
