In front of my home there are some power lines running along side the road. Well some workers came to "trim excess branches" away from the lines about a week or so ago. After they did this (I had no say) I went outside and say that about half or more of my beloved maple tree was gone! They cut way too much!!!! I was almost in tears seeing these poor trees. My heart still aches for them. Does anyone else ever feel bad for trees or other plants? I have always been close to nature but this specific tree almost feels like a family member to me and I have only lived here for like 9 months. I don't know if there is anyway to help it or not, obviously it will take time for branches to grow back but when I go outside I just want to get a tree sized bandage to put around it to make it feel better. I am just so upset and needed to talk to someone who feels the same way about nature. I just wish I could go hug my tree and make it feel better and bee big and full of leaves again.
