Here's an uplifting little news item...
Retiree Faces Prison For Killing 500 Trees, The Skinny: Nevada Man Convicted Of Destroying Trees Blocking His View Of Las Vegas Strip - CBS News
Now what makes this even more interesting is that I recently visited Nerang State Forest at the Gold Coast Sth Queensland to gather info on an identical case there....You can bet the individual responsible in Queensland will not be looking at jail time, hefty fine yes, and a lovely bill board in place of the trees
The old guys wife described the destruction of over 500 trees as, "wacking a few branches"
Maybe some of the US members here will be able to follow the outcome of the case as I doubt it will get enough coverage for me to follow from Oz....there must be some pretty darn strict veg protection rules in Nevada good on them.
