When Others Said No, PAR Said Yes in South Huntsville
A 100-foot oak tree came down in a homeowner's front yard in south Huntsville.
But it didn't fall into an open space where it could be easily cut up and hauled away. Instead, it had become tangled among five other trees in a densely wooded yard, creating a complicated mess.
The homeowners called for help.
But they kept hearing no.
Other disaster response groups turned them down because the job was too difficult and too dangerous.
Until someone asked PAR . . .
Our volunteers assessed the job. They knew the challenges. And they knew our skills.
They said yes.
On a slightly cooler Tuesday morning, September 29, 2026, five PAR volunteers showed up at the property, ready to work. One directed traffic, one operated the skid steer, and three worked with chainsaws to cut and clear the fallen oak.
Two hours later, the job was done.
For these homeowners, our saying yes—and completing the job—was the answer they'd been looking for.
