There seems to be a war on trees in my area. People buy a house and then cut down all the trees on the property. Neighbors across the street are taking down a beautiful majestic tree in their backyard that already has an erosion problem from the river. It's the last tree remaining on the property and it makes me want to cry.
This neighbor has also removed all shrubs and flowers from the property, so there is nothing remaining but turf. It's not like he's clearing away the trees for his iris and lily garden or anything.
