    Letter: County must act drastically, aggressively to preserve oak forest 

    Letter submitted in response to “Justin Vineyards criticized for clear-cutting oaks”

    To to editor,Submit news of Letter to the editor

    Outside the area corporate entities owning property within this county do not seem to care or even show concern for the beauty and long standing protection of hundreds of years old oaks, beautiful rolling hills landscape or precious water. I was born in this county and find the changes brought on by these absentee landlords an anathema. Absentee landlords owning large acreage have not integrated into the community or they would have known the uproar their egregious behavior would cause. Thankfully, neighbors who do care blew the whistle. Now let’s hope the county will take an aggressive approach in making sure this never happens again. Let’s put aside political correctness on behalf of our oaks, the landscape and precious water and take the owners to task for this type of catch me if you can behavior. If the county does not act drastically and aggressively this same behavior will continue to happen.

    The Wonderful Co says they are going to plant 5000 oak trees on their properties. Where does the extra water to grow new oaks come from? old, established trees don't need to be watered.
