City promises a little off the top and sides, but roadside forest ends up with crew cut; Brighton, MI

Tree trim really major lumbering | livingstondaily.com | Livingston Daily

My intention of writing this letter is to alert the citizens of Brighton to the destruction of our beautiful heritage trees along Winans Lake Road.

Nothing prepared me for the shock of the actual lumbering job that took place. Trees that were more than 100 years old were cut down, and our beautiful tree canopy that lined our road was destroyed. We will never be able to enjoy this natural beauty road again. The reasons given were flimsy at best, and the "why" was never answered honestly.
