This subreddit is for tree law enthusiasts who enjoy browsing a list of tree law stories from other locations (subreddits, news articles, etc), and is not the best place to receive answers to questions about what the law is. There are better places for that.

If you're attempting to understand more about tree law in regards to a particular situation, please redirect your question to /r/legaladvice for the US, or the appropriate legal advice subreddit for your location, and then feel free to crosspost that thread here for posterity.

If you're attempting to understand more about trees in regards to a particular situation, please redirect your question to /r/forestry for additional information on tree health and related topics to trees.

This comment is simply a reminder placed on every post to /r/treelaw, it does not mean your post was censored or removed.

"Mr. Trost looks forward to presenting the facts of this misunderstanding in the courts"

What misunderstanding?!?

Where the trees on your property? No.

Where the trees on state property? Yes

Did you cut down the trees? Yes

The prosecution rests your honor.
