Info from Licensor: "My company was doing work for a customer. While we were on the customer's site he told us that he had an extremely large pile of logs, trees, brush, and sticks that the homeowner had accumulated over the years. The homeowner was originally going to set fire to it. However, we were on site doing some other tree work for them, so they made the decision to have us chip up all these logs, trees, and brush. They figured it would be better for the environment and that they could recycle the pile, and use the wood chips. When we got to the very bottom of the pile I was able to see the trapped raccoon and gently remove the other trees and brush from around it. After this one raccoon was free no further work was done. No other animals were present or hurt."
