W&OD Maintenance this weekend – 1/16-17

It has already been going on for a couple of weeks.

There are some poor trees just west of Vienna that have had every branch removed, but Dominion didn’t put them out of their misery and just cut them down entirely. I don’t understand why a tree that is 30′ shorter than the power lines needs to be destroyed like this, when it could grow for 25 years before it became a threat.

If they’ve actually removed every branch, that might be step 1 in removing the whole tree.
