Anne-Marie says there are a lot of reasons why trees are better than concrete.
Trees filter the air and provide shade.
Their roots help absorb stormwater and prevent floods.
Studies have shown that trees can even save lives by keeping neighborhoods cool on hot days.
Anne-Marie says it's just like how you might need an electrical permit to rewire your garage.
Like, the township wants to review your plants.
Because if your shoddy wiring sets your garage on fire, that affects your neighbors.
Now, in Canton, this tree permit ordinance mostly applied to developers, not homeowners.
And the township would usually grant developers the permit as long as they agreed to either plant a replacement tree on the property or pay a remediation fee.
That fee, usually a couple hundred dollars per tree, would go into the township's tree fund.
And in Canton, Anne-Marie says that the system worked pretty smoothly.
The township issued thousands of tree permits, and along with developers, they replanted thousands of trees.
Someone had cut down all of these trees.
So the town sends an official to investigate.
And what they find is just mud and tree stumps.
Property owners out there have clear-cut about 16 acres of woods.
Just like that, no permits, no notice, nothing.
The town leaders are shocked.
The town calculates that more than 1,500 trees had been cut down.
They tell the property owners, OK, what is done is done.
