It is such pointless destruction when healthy trees are cut down on private property (by the Army Corps) when right of way clearance wasn’t given AND an arborist had already said the trees would survive. Ironically, this happened in my back yard when I was off volunteering. Since the view from my deck was the only place for blocks that one could pretend that 4/27 never happened it sickens me. My workplace was destroyed; my front yard and 100+ year old trees are gone; my house damaged but fixed; now my back yard is being taken away from me.
