Tree Trimming
I want to dispel any rumors about the trees that were trimmed and removed along our driveway entrance. Last year I asked for a low hanging branch that brushed against our buses and some vehicles to be trimmed. As I drove in this morning, I saw a lot more branches and trees trimmed than I was expecting. I'm sad to see such an aggressive response to what I thought would be removing a few low hanging branches.
