I'm with you oceanZ...........I was so furious when a neighbour cut down a tree, not his own, but his next door neighbour's public land tree. He hacked at it for months and months, ring barking it, and every time new shoots appeared, he'ld hack at them. The problem in doing anything about it meant the person who's property the tree was on would need to take the crazy, angry man to court. He's already been doing things to spite her because he's been caught watering his lawn and had several warnings and fines.........and he blames her for the dobbing in.
I know it's not deforrestation but it was an old, healthy elm tree that was cut down because he doesn't like racking up leaves. It should be dealt with like a crime.

Kindred Spirits.

I was with trees last weekend. One had a breadth of 8 arm spans.
When trees get big they are a real influence.
He was a staunch old man of the forest.

The plans for a new permaculture garden in my new house are going well.
Anyone who knows what a permaculture garden is would be very welcoming for one.
