- Representative AI imageA routine land-clearing project in Rockingham County, New Hampshire, turned into a costly property dispute after workers hired to prepare land for a solar farm mistakenly cut more than 30 trees belonging to a neighbouring landowner.
- The property boundaries had reportedly been surveyed and marked before the work began, but the tree-service workers apparently misunderstood which trees they were supposed to remove.
- The trees, some with trunks up to 26 inches in diameter, had also served as a visual buffer between the homeowner's property and the solar farm.
