they had better not put some horrible building contract there
Not sure why you're being down voted. When I lived in Florida I watched a university take advantage of the wreckage of a hurricane aftermath to remove the "debris" with large machines. they removed a bunch of vegetation from the land (which had a conservation easement on it). Then they filed a petition with the government to remove the easement (due to the trees having been removed) so they could put a building in the land.
Nobody gets drunk and simply uproots a few dozen trees. this seems like an effort from some rich group who wants to profit off the land
What are you talking about?
People who would want that land for buisiness purposes could possibly be the ones who uprooted the trees. The thought process being someone who wants the land would cause disruption until the tree planters give up I guess.
Idk just my thoughts on what OP meant though
These were planted alongside trails and on the medians of the road. This is just down the road from my house and the land these trees were on is not useful for literally anything besides trees.
A few newly planted trees aren't going to be the thing that stops a business from going in if that's what someone wanted to do. There are plenty of hurdles to opening a business, from owning or leasing the land, to business permits, etc, but a few newly planted trees aren't going to stop anyone.
