Please postpone any tree-trimming until the fall when the tree can be reassessed for trimming.  Much tree-trimming is unnecessary, not helpful for birds, and bad for the tree, such as topping and over-thinning.  If you need to trim your tree or shrubs because you have received a Fire Hazard notice, please check for any nests prior to trimming and avoid trimming in the vicinity of an active nest until after the chicks have fledged.  

Please see our  Tree Trimming Guidelines for more recommendations on tree-trimming.
