Sherwood Village Trees are destroyed

Contracted AEP crews are busy destroying trees in the village of Sherwood. AEP has in the past come into to town to trim the trees away from their power lines, BUT this year is different, with new guidelines in place that are supported by the federal government, AEP (American Electric Power) has the right to trim or remove any tree that might interfere with their transmission power lines.

Talking with one village resident, his comment was "We have been raped again!", another went on to say " What am I to do with 1/2 a tree?" Disgust and outrage is brewing in the village. Many of the villager's I have spoke with so far agree, it's just plain ugly. Some of the trees were here before the power lines and are now gone.

The crews have been through some of the south side of town and are now heading to the north as we see several other trees marked for destruction down main street. Take a trip through our town and see if you agree, it is just plain ugly with what they have done to our trees.

Disgusted? Send me your comments and I will post them online for all to read. Take a look at some of the fine workmanship below.

Thank-you AEP for protecting our interests!
