I have always loved trees and, if I had then means, I would live on about 100 acres of land - 3/4 of it forested. I can actually remember hugging the huge sycamore tree that graced the center of my grandparent's back yard when I was a child. To this day it ticks me off royally when the idiots from the light company have their annual hacking of the trees to protect the light wires. It's not that the wires shouldn't be protected. But, like anything else there's a right and wrong way to go about it. If you're going to make a hideous, unthinking mess of it then you shouldn't be doing this for a living.
