Hey gang -- a question. I have a neighbor who is clearing out a bunch of
trees. Depending on which trees he decides to pull out, this could have a
substantial affect on my property both in terms of drainage/erosion as well
as wind breaks.

I would be surprised if there exists a law to prevent him from cutting
down a few trees. He should be responsible to control erosion, but
that is easily fixed by growing grass.

That really depends on your area. Several places that I've lived n have
very strict ordinances about not cutting down trees. The original poster
doesn't mention if he's in a rural or urban setting - but it might be
worth contacting the local forestry department, to see if there are any
applicable regulations.

cheers!
