Saving Trees

When Lindsay and Brandee saw that a lot of beautiful trees near their home in the Sierra foothills, California, were getting cut down, they got real worried and they started a campaign to prevent a utility company from cutting down the trees, especially their favorite L-shaped tree that they had grown up with. Their campaign raised public awareness of the issue and the tree was saved. Unfortunately, we have recently learned that despite their efforts, the utility company has chopped the tree down. The campaign continues!
