A word in defence of tree surgeons,

And then, there are the highway landscapers who, after a road is
built, and power lines are run along its edge (better to use
right-of-way for multiple purposes, yes?) then come along and
plant sycamore, sweetgum and red maple right underneath the
lines to "beautify" the road.

The lines are 20 feet above the roadside. A sycamore can grow
13 feet in its first year down here, sweetgum 10 feet, and red
maple eight.

Sounds like "make work" for the Future Arborists Resource Team
(FART). ;-)
