A multimillion-dollar view, a split-second decision… and 32 trees later, a courtroom. He wanted a clearer skyline, so he sent a crew over the fence and onto his neighbor’s property to cut them down. No permission. No paperwork. Just chainsaws. Now the arborist says it’s $1,000 per tree in...

The HOA President had her neighbor’s 15-foot trees cut down while he was out of town… all because she wanted a better view from her house. When he got back and saw what happened, he didn’t argue. He didn’t replant. He went digging through the city zoning rules and found a loophole: the ordinance allowed a sound barrier along the property line, with no rule about what it had to look like. So instead of trees, he lined the edge of his yard with shipping containers. No leaves. No sunlight. No “view.” Just steel walls. Totally legal. Very deliberate. Is this revenge going too far… or is this a homeowner using the rulebook after someone else abused it first? The video may or may not depict actual events; it may or may contain AI

Multiple American homeowners in this community were growing trees One tree was a black sapote tree a resident grew for 20 years. Another was an avocado tree that was 10 years old Their HOA came and chainsawed the trees down and removed them It looks like because the trees were in a more common location and not directly on the property, the HOA had authority to come and cut them down, and they did This is why nobody likes HOAs

WILMETTE PUBLC COMMENT: This resident spoke last night during the Wilmette (Illinois) Village Board of Trustees meeting. He wants to cut down an old tree on his property that is causing damage to his sidewalk from the roots. It is a nuisance and a danger. The village now calls old trees “heritage trees” not in an effort to preserved trees but to charge new permit fees. The permit fee use to be $75 and quite often people don’t get permits. Most people only remove trees that are a hazard or might be in the way of a new construction of home addition. This resident was charge a $5000 permit tree to cut down a dying tree that was a nuisance and potential danger. The village has taken this as a CASH GRAB opportunity with mention of the direction of the new revenue source to section 8 & subsidized housing for connected developers. The village is also considering increasing demolition fees from $4500 to $20,000. I’m not sure but maybe there should be NO fees to improve your property. This resident who complained about the tree permit fees might had been a senior. So now the village trustees are talking about “affordable housing” for seniors yet they are increasing permit fees not to mention property tax increases for seniors, THIS IS NOT AFFORDABLE HOUSING. You can’t make this stuff up.

A man’s neighbor didn’t like the landscaping on his property. While he left on a trip, the neighbor seized the opportunity to go ahead and cut down all of the trees he didn’t like. The man only has the texts as proof he thinks it was the neighbor who did it, of course the neighbor denies it and blames it on vandals. What would you do if you came home one day and someone cut down all your trees? Is it time to call the cops or sue?

KGF fame Yash had illegally cut down the trees in a forest in Bengaluru for #Toxic 🙏 You can plant a new sapling in 5 minutes, it takes 30 to 50 years for that tree to provide the same level of oxygen, shade, and carbon storage as the mature tree that was cut down 😑

George Kittle on the electrical substation next to the 49ers facility: “The one thing that messes me up with it, this is tough, my rookie season there used to be trees in between the substation and our practice facility. There’s a fence there too and above the fence all the trees had no leafs on them, year round, all dead. Nobody notices it until you point it out. I didn’t point it out to Kyle Shanahan until 2021. A vet pointed it out to me my rookie season and I was like 'That’s kind of weird'. But then this year the NFL came in and cut them all down. So they’re not there anymore so no one can see them. So it’s only us vets that know that was the truth. I don’t think anyone talked about that yet. That one messed me up.”

California imposes strict rules on Joshua Trees, it can cost as much as $50,000+ to remove a cluster One family bulldozed a few on their own property and faced $18,000 in fines, another family faces $33,000 in fines California will someone have a full environmental study done on the impact if you want to remove a tree just to drive up the cost to remove to discourage you Examples of added costs to remove one of these trees include: Arborist assessments, relocation, monitoring, permitting and potential full environmental studies can push totals much higher Sometimes $10,000+ per tree removals

Democrats in Washington State have their own rail system scam, and it’s scheduled to go on FOR DECADES Seattle is spending $148 billion and cutting down 14,000 trees under the guise of green transportation The CEO of the company has a base salary starting at $450,000 per year - To pay for it Democrats increased car registration fees from $30 a year to an added $80 for every $10,000 in estimated value - The project immediately went over budget, $1 billion over budget in the first year - The project meant to be done in 2035 is now 2046 and costs continue to skyrocket Democrats are going to money laundering with this project for decades. It’s literally planned to go on for decades “Sound transit cut down 5,300 Douglas fir trees, many of which were planted during the Eisenhower, and then a year later cut down 8,600 trees, with millions in timber becoming property of the contractors. Very green. And then things went from bad to worse.”

In Maharashtra, the Kumbh Mela will take place in Nashik. To provide accommodation for the sadhus and mahants coming for the event, a “Sadhugram” is planned. But for this, nearly 1,700 trees will be cut, many of them 40 to 50 years old. The Kumbh Mela will last only for a month. Is it really necessary to cut such old and valuable trees for something so temporary? Today, very few people plant trees and take care of them, so why remove the ones we already have? After all, the sadhus can sit in the shade of these very trees. This is something we should seriously think CMO Maharashtra

The forest was shrinking but the trees kept voting for the axe, for the axe was clever and convinced the trees that because his handle was made of wood he was one of them We have to start deporting Islam from America before Muslims completely take over our government Dearborn Michigan’s mayor is a liar. Where was this acceptance and compassion when Christians opposed Arabic street signs an he told them to leave the city? He said he would throw a parade as they left

She was perfectly still in her tree stand, focused, quiet, waiting for the slightest movement in the woods. The air was calm… until it wasn’t. A sharp snip echoed through the trees. Then another. She looked over, and there it was. Her neighbor, right along the property line, cutting into the very trees that separated their land. At first, she thought maybe she was mistaken. But as she watched branch after branch fall, it became clear, this wasn’t light trimming. This was deliberate. The natural barrier she relied on for privacy, for safety while hunting, was being stripped away in real time. And the worst part? He hadn’t said a word. No warning. No conversation. Just action. Now she’s sitting there, realizing this isn’t just about trees anymore. it’s about boundaries being crossed without permission. Sometimes it’s not the act itself. it’s the lack of respect behind it that makes it hit harder. If someone started cutting along your property line without telling you… would you confront them immediately or document everything first?

Let’s celebrate one of the most wonderful trees in the world - the coconut tree! Also known as the Tree of Life, every part of the coconut has a purpose, both for practical and spiritual means. Coconut trees are an important part of tropical and coastal ecosystems, preventing soil erosion and water runoff. With a lifespan of 60-80 years, it is considered a “three-generation tree” as it can support a farmer, his children, and his grandchildren, as well as the soil that supports us all.

NEW: Robbery in Oakland, CA is getting so bad that criminals are now stealing *bonsai trees.* Oakland is basically a 3rd world country at this point Thieves broke into a bonsai garden in Lake Merritt & stole 8 bonsai trees. One tree was a 100 year old Hinoki cypress. In total, experts believe the stolen trees were worth about $20,000. "While you can put a dollar amount on these trees, they are technically priceless because you'll never find another tree like them," said Suzanne Muller who is the assistant director at the garden. The garden was protected with metal fences and wooden walls however the thugs still made it through.

A woman tried to coordinate a fence installation with her neighbor, but he was dismissive and told her to get a survey. She did, and it turned out his trees were on her property. Now he’s furious and ignoring the boundary line he demanded she prove. She’s legally within her rights to build the fence on the property line. But is it worth the ongoing neighbor drama, or should she let it go?

THEY PAVED PARADISE AND PUT UP A SKYWAY I condemn the DENR for allowing the tree-cutting and earth-balling of HUNDREDS OF TREES along Quirino Avenue in Manila City. All of these trees cut. Just to pave the way for the construction of the “Southern Access Link Expressway” (SALEX) by San Miguel Corporation. The SALEX spans a measly 4 kilometers but four elevated lanes. A total of 617 trees will be affected. 617 trees — all of it for just 4 kilometers of an expressway which will never reduce traffic because all expressways have been proven to actually induce demand for automobiles according to empirical research and scientific studies. Hundreds of trees have ALREADY been cut but hundreds more will be cut in the next few days. I call on President Bongbong Marcos, the DENR, SMC, and the City of Manila to stop this madness.

"What if everyone who loves Ryuichi Sakamoto planted a tree in his honor, to show him our love and gratitude." - Yuka C. Honda Following Ryuichi’s passing and in response to Yuka’s message above, Ryuichi’s family and estate launched “TREES FOR SAKAMOTO”. Trees for Sakamoto Since the initiative’s launch, many people and organizations have donated, with the total donations exceeding $26,000. We thank everyone for the continuous support to plant more trees! Ryuichi Sakamoto left us with the gift of music. Let’s give him a gift back by planting trees all over the world, as he would have wanted. . . . Humanity has coexisted with forests. Where forests have collapsed, civilizations have perished. Now, forests are collapsing all over the world. Is this not a warning of the demise of human civilization? Let’s at least plant trees. - Ryuichi Sakamoto (excerpted from “more trees” website, 2007) #planttrees #moretrees #ryuichisakamoto #skmtnews #trees4skmt

Today at the Eko Amore Gardens in Lekki, we marked the 2026 Tree Planting Day with a powerful demonstration of our collective commitment to a greener and more climate resilient Lagos. I had the honour of welcoming His Excellency Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu , ably represented by the Secretary to the State Government, Barr. Abimbola Salu-Hundeyin, along with the wife of the Deputy Governor, Mrs Oluremi Hamzat, our Tree Champions, and community leaders. The theme for this year, “Trees for Lagos: Our City, Our Responsibility,” speaks directly to the fact that environmental stewardship is a duty we all share. Tree planting is not a ceremonial event, it is a strategic environmental intervention and one of the simplest, most effective nature based solutions to combat extreme weather, flooding, biodiversity loss, and rising temperatures. The Governor charged all Lagosians to not only plant trees but to nurture them to maturity, and he set a clear target of 20,000 trees for this year. As of June 30, we had already planted 13,401 trees representing 67 percent of that target, and a new planting season has now commenced across all 57 Local Government Areas and Local Council Development Areas, running throughout the rainy season until October. I am pleased to announce that every LGA and LCDA Chairman has been designated as a Tree Custodian, responsible for nurturing and monitoring the trees planted in their jurisdictions for a minimum of 12 months to ensure survival. The Governor also unveiled the 20 Lagos Tree Champions, outstanding individuals and organisations whose contributions are advancing the greening of our State. I urge every resident to obtain free tree seedlings from LASPARK’s Lagos State Parks and Gardens Agency - LASPARK nurseries, plant in your homes, schools, offices and communities, and nurture them. We are not just planting trees, we are planting hope, health, and a lasting legacy for generations to come. This is how we build a #CleanerLagos and a truly #GreaterLagos.

This guy has lived in his house for 4 or 5 years and it backs up to a national park. He has a white bench that has been moved out of his yard and back onto some paths in the park property that were not there before. Someone is breaking tree limbs and snapping small trees to create them and they lead right to his yard. What would these be for?
