The Parke Company and Relocating Critters in Trees

September 30, 2026September 15, 2020 by The Parke Company

Trees are places of sanctuary for all kinds of Tennessee critters. Birds, snakes, raccoons, opossums, squirrels and bats are just a few of Nashville’s most popular tree residents. So when the Parke Company determines a tree must be cut down, the team of arborists call animal rescue organizations to assist in relocating the tree’s residents.

During tree care analysis, sometimes the Parke Company has to ultimately cut down the tree because of disease, death or other factors. If the team finds a nest or a family of critters, the Parke Company relocates the animal to a safe location or a rehabilitation center if necessary. For safety and rehabilitation, the Parke Company calls Walden’s Puddle or Nashville Critter Ridder for assistance. Walden’s Puddle is a non-profit facility that provides treatment and care to sick, orphaned or injured wildlife in Middle Tennessee. Nashville Critter Ridder specializes in safe removal and/or extermination of wildlife as well as prevention and repair services.

If the tree does not have to come down, the Parke Company does their best to work around the nest or inhabitant, leaving the animals happy and undisturbed. It’s not uncommon to get up close and personal with some of Tennessee’s wildlife while repairing or removing trees, but it’s important to cause little disruption to avoid stressing or harming the animals.

Occasionally, the Parke Company comes across a bird of prey that must be safely relocated during a tree removal. When this happens, an aviary specialist is called in to assist the crew. The same is true for harmful insects such as bees and wasps. Once a nest is found, a specialist is called to help assist in the safe removal.

Trees are homes for all kinds of creatures, which makes animal rescue and relocation a priority for the team of arborists at the Parke Company. Though often times the animals can be left undisturbed, a safe and clear-cut plan is necessary in case a tree or its branches must come down.

Severe Summer Storms and Parke’s Emergency Services

September 30, 2026September 15, 2020 by The Parke Company

Severe weather is unavoidable, no matter what season of year it is in Nashville. In the winter we worry about the ice and snow storms (hyperlink), and during the summer frequent threats are flooding and tornadoes. With the weather comes the possibility of damaging winds and floods that could potentially harm your trees and damage your landscape. And of course, there are certain areas within Middle Tennessee that are much more susceptible to tree damage, so it’s important to be aware of your landscape and know who to call in case of an emergency. Here are only a few factors to consider during severe summer storms:

High-flood plains — Since the flooding in 2010, Nashvillians know how serious flooding can be and how it can harm trees and landscape. If you live in an area with high flood plains, it’s important to have regular tree care maintenance completed to avoid any potential disaster when a flood occurs.
Double trunks/old trees — Trees with multiple trunks or really old trees are very susceptible to severe storms. If you have one in your landscape, it’s a good idea to get an arborist to examine it for proper tree care.
Wooded areas — Trees in an open landscape such as a wooded area or lot can succumb to damage during storms. Straight-line winds or lightning are two possible issues. If you have a wooded area or lot on your property, consider calling the Parke Company for a few ideas on keeping the property safe year-round.
Construction zones — These are areas where trees can be heavily strained. These areas are easily affected and can have the biggest impact if the zones are in heavily populated areas.

All these factors can weigh in on the livelihood of a tree during a storm. Obviously, tree care should be completed year round to prevent emergency issues, however the Parke Company’s arborists know that it can’t always be avoided — that’s where the emergency care comes in. This service is meant for emergency tree care services only, such as a severe storms or trees falling on a house in the middle of the night. If you find yourself in need of emergency tree care services, contact an arborist at the emergency line at 615-201-9999 for immediate assistance. Need tree care or landscape services, but it’s not an emergency? Contact Dan Beasley directly at 615-405-6548 to book an appointment.
