The Arkansas Forestry Commission is encouraging people getting out to assess damage to trees this weekend to get professional help with broken branches and split trees.

"Trees are very dangerous, damaged trees are very dangerous and need too be handled by a professional. Chainsaws can be very dangerous," says State Forester Joe Fox.

To save the trees or owners from any more damage, Fox recommends having an insured tree company or an arborist assess damage.
