[Vision2020] Tree trimming

[Ted Moffett]

Roger et. al.

I also was dismayed by what seemed on overhanded approach to tree trimming
for power line right of way on South Main east side, within a hundred yards
north of the Styner intersection, where those conspicuous rows of
multi-story apartment buildings are arrayed running east/west, each one with
its own paved parking lot extending off Main to the east.

However, this is mild compared to what Clearwater Power will do to trees for
power line right of way.  I have seen them just cut the whole tree down at
the ground level!  And I mean for a 30 foot high tree with a trunk many feet
across...No need to return to trim that tree again, unless it's a willow
that regrows, which was the case.  The revenge of the Willows!
