The last time they tried to trim back the tree tunnel,all of the tree huggers,drum beaters and assorted barefoot hippies protested and they just did a light trim.
I guess it will take a death or multiple deaths before anything is done.After the recent high winds I counted 5 new trees had fallen.
Any one who is paying attention is seeing more trees falling, more dead and dying branches,(here in the Opihikao area ),especially the coco - palms along Kamaili, just take a drive down or up the road and view the palm fronds dying further and further up the trees , and most of the time it is not the wind falling them (not speaking of the coco's here, but trees in general) , they just become to weak to stand any longer.
