Trees' Rights Group

(Onekama, Michigan) An apparently very sensitive group of individuals has discerned that trees have rights and one of them is the right not to be trimmed. Consequently, the Trees' Rights Equal Environmental Sense group is trying to stop Consumers Energy from cutting and trimming trees that have grown too close to electrical power lines.

This "trees have rights" movement must be an indigenous Michigan phenomenon and I don't think it will catch on in my location. But even if it did, I have a hunch that Ohio trees would exercise their right to be well-groomed.
