our biggest tree

Yesterday the electrician came out to dig a trench to lay the electrical line, little did we know that he would kill a tree in the process. We have called the city and everyone else that we could think of seeking ways to save the largest tree on our property. The solutions are not cheap, and there is no Garnett that the tree will even make it. We are very sad about the situation. :(
