Tree Trouble Spurs Roadside Clearing Controversy
Residents protest the removal of mature roadside trees along US-12 near Saline as road crews cut timber for safety. Farmers and homeowners fear loss of shade and protection, while officials insist the project is a temporary safety measure not a road widening. Neighbors report trespass concerns and confusion over timber rights. The Handy farm features a 100+ year old maple and a smaller maple sacrificed for the project.
