Being new to working in our local mountains I learned a new term; View cut. This is where rich people mutilate the forest near their weekend homes, so they can see nature. I know this is bread and butter for some companys and if they don't do it someone else will.
I have the displeasure of doing one right now. If it wasn't for the fact these poor oaks have been getting slammed for so long There isn't much more damage I can do to them I would refuse.(Im an employee)
My problem is the the new owners have got permission to view cut half the neighbors Oak. That is where I worked to day. I already know my work will not be approved. I have removed maybe 50 percent or more of green growth. You can see the lake just fine. This is in a window 3/4 up the tree maybe 8ft by 20 ft. That is as much Hippocratic give I have to offer on this view window. Their looking for 100%.
I am just an old tree trimmer, but I'm set in my ways. I am Pro tree. I am always being told,"no one cares, just cut",(paraphrasing)but I do care.
How do other companys handle these View cuts? I see pines cut in half and topped oaks all around this lake. I know 30 miles away in lake Arrowhead, They'll fine your ass for this. I feel like getting out of this business a lot lately. Beastmaster
