Don't fret about desecration coming to an end soon...

The Oregon Utilities Board made a change about overhead (electric) lines,
and it's probably coming soon to your neighborhood.
Now the tree-cutters can top off trees and limbs within 20 ft of the lines.

Of course, Douglas fir and cedar and sequoia don't do well after being topped out,
so now 50 - 100 - 200 year old tress are going into the chippers,
and the broad leaf trees are being cut into squatty-bodies.

Some trees are far enough back from the right-of-ways that
they are just being skinned of their limbs on one side,
making them look even more naked and mal-formed.
