That would not be correct. They, by law, have the right to come on your property and cut what they deem are "danger" trees. I have seen this carried to court and the landowner lose badly. Its why they spend so much money on lobbiest, to cover their butts.


Actually my attorney included in the letter we sent them that they were free to cut any trees or limbs that were on (or over hung) their ROW. However they are not able to cut anything that is not on the ROW. The ROW gives them access to certain areas not the entire property. If a larger (wider) ROW is needed then they will need to got through the legal proper channels to get one.


I love my country, but don't trust my government.
