Alex’s Tree Service works on two larges trees Wednesday at the North Georgia Zoo in Cleveland. The trees threatened the zoo’s main animal nursery, pens and main power lines.
Prayers were answered for zookeepers at North Georgia Zoo in Cleveland on Wednesday afternoon. As two large trees dangled dangerously close to power lines, the animal nursery at the zoo also hung in the balance before Alex’s Tree Service of Dahlonega was able to take down the trees. Zoo staff members waited on pins and needles for Alex’s Tree Service to bring in a crane to remove the towering trees.
