Trees down in the canal...who cuts them?

Sorry if this isn't the exact board for this.
My place is on a canal off of the Tickfaw river. There are several trees down in the canal including one of mine...partially still on my land but the majority in the canal. Some of these are BIG trees and I have no clue where to even start to cut one safely. Passage is impossible...even by kayak.
Who is responsible for cutting them and removing them? Who would I call to ask?
How in the hell is it even done?

I would start by calling your local LDWF. They should be able to point you in the right direction.

If the trees are affecting drainage in the area, parish government may remove them.

If it's a private canal, you will have to do it yourself.
If it's a public canal, you will have to call your parish department of public works.
Good luck

If it’s not parish drainage then you may get lucky and some contractor who’s on FEMAs nickle may clear it if they are clearing parish drainage.
If not then whoever wants to pass through will end up having to clear it.

From past experiences, you will end up removing the trees. Don’t hold your breath waiting on the state or parish.

if you end up having to cut it yourself, dont drink any beer before.

Do you know anybody on your drainage board or police jury? I'd start with them... But like a lot of folks have said, you'll probably end up having to do it yourself or hire it out if its not essential to drainage.

The owner of the tree is responsible for removing it from the canal.

You’re probably gonna end up having to have the tree that was in your yard and fell into canal removed by you or hiring someone to do it.
How big is the tree, can you do it yourself, do you have the physical ability or $$$$$ to hire it removed.
Maybe all the neighbors who live on the canal could get together and hire someone to remove them if you can’t get The parish or state to remove
If access to the canal isn’t a necessity right now then I’d let someone farther down the canal initiate the removal questions

Sorry, cutting that is going to suck arse. Take it from a dude who has been cutting trees at the camp for two days. Get the nabors to chip in and pay.

a friend with a camp at the end of a canal at French Settlement (Livingston/Ascension Parish?)has a tree down in the canal. Yesterday, He mentioned he called the Homeland Security office for the parish and was advised "Thanks for calling, we get FEMA money to remove trees in public navigable canals."
Hopefully, HS does more than collect FEMA $$$ and has the tree removed.
Good Luck

Sounds like you should have 10-12 neighbors willing to help if they wanna ride the boat. Cut into 10 foot stick and drag it out with a truck. Clean up the small stuff later
