Nobody likes to cut down a mature, old tree, but the Town of Hulett had to take down one in their town park. A tree that was struck by lightning last summer started showing signs of deterioration and dying. The Town was proactive and decided to take down the tree before a limb fell off and hurt someone or damaged other property. Part of the tree is still in the park and the company that cut it down carved a bench to try to preserve some and make it useful....
