Not everyone appreciates arbor award

In a letter to O&R, Baum — who has been protesting O&R’s tree-removal program — wrote: “This truly would have been funny, had your company not already caused so much suffering and pain to the people of Rockland County with its new ’scorched earth’ tree-cutting program.”
O&R says it is following a 2005 state mandate requiring them to remove trees that could threaten transmission lines and lead to power outages. O&R said in the release about the arbor award that it makes “a concerted effort to meet Tree Line USA requirements by training its workers in quality tree-care practices and by helping its customers to plant appropriate trees near utility lines. That approach not only helps to provide beautiful trees for the future, but also long-term operational savings for the company.”
