When I moved to my neighborhood, it was like moving to a forest - I never used the air conditioner, it was always cooler than most other places around us - but since them,. neighbor after neighbor have cut down their trees, my garage always used to be cool is now like an oven in the summer, even though i leave the windows open all summer ( who cares about a wet cement floor?
Right now, I went outside to find a neighbor cutting down a tree on my property, they thought I would like it - why do they do it? I have lost so many trees that way. Twice I have found different neighbors standing by my 500 year old oak with saw in hand - no no no! there is no respect for age and beauty - one neighbor said it was because they did not like leaves in their yard - well live in a city with cement! another cut down trees bigger than my old tree to pave their back yard - WTF? what is wrong with people? The town finally had to pass a large tree fine for cutting down old trees - doesn't stop anyone, they fine is just too low. To night I will plant trees to replace the ones on my border from the seedlings that pop up in my yard and put a laminated note on it, it will be on my property just, saying this is my sapling, leave it alone. It will take years, but I am going no where. since this new neighbor is putting up a fence, It will be clearly my tree. And it's leaves will waft into their yard as do all my trees - since they are down wind.
