The Electric company came by a couple of months ago to tell us that they would be cutting down all the trees underneath the electric wires in the roadside at some point, and so yesterday that day arrived. They have cut all along underneath the wires but not on our land - they have given us a list of slow growing trees that we can replant there for privacy. We still have some smaller trees on our land that will give us some privacy in Summer, but for now it is very bare :(
I understand why they did it - the power has gone out a couple of times when the trees have brushed the cables and they have to come every couple of years and trim the trees so this time they decided to cut down all the trees in the area - any underneath the cables - not just under ours but the whole area :(
