A member of Rogers Tree Service’s crew takes down limbs from a large willow oak tree Tuesday morning in downtown Hinesville’s Bradwell Park. A portion of the park near the tree had been closed to the public as a safety precaution after the tree was struck by lightning last week. Liberty County Extension Coordinator Robert Bell and an arborist assessed the tree and advised the city to take it down because the structural  integrity of the top of the tree had been compromised.
