I'm wondering how it's done in your neck of the woods and if the property owners rights are superceded by public utilities if your land is adjacent to or close proximity to the utility owners land. I know a lot of these easements, right of way's and outright utility owned properties cross many peoples lands, so at some point they need to trim and cut trees.
I've often wondered how far they can go onto a persons property to take a tree down that if was to fall in a storm would hit the utility line. Understanding this may vary by location quite a bit, as well as having all kinds of stipulations included in deeds and property type documents, but in general there must be some of this that is "boiler plate" no matter where you are.
The power company took a pair of nice young 12"-14" healthy maples down yesterday while I was at work, without any prior notification, with the exception of sending a letter about trimming in the utility bill, nothing about removal, this letter I never saw, but was told about later, so who knows what it really said. The location of one was near a pole with a transformer, at a corner of our property, along the town road I live on, but was just off the towns eminent domain from center of road, the other one was further away from the utility lines, that one I don't agree with taking, but also understand same tree hugger mentality LOL !!! would be the first to complain when it knocks your power out :) so ok on that, and most similar situations, but it does make you take notice when they do this.
In one respect they cleared next to an old property corner monument, we have a surveyor due to come in to re-establish property lines, the neighbors have been taking advantage of our old farmstead area, dumping their lawn and yard waste over the fence, time to rattle their cages, another tree near another corner monument, a maple 2/3 split off it so that area is clear, I guess the surveyor will be happy at least !

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
