The citizens of Chilhowee Missouri would like a stop put to the [xxxxx] family to stop cutting down tree's along side the trail around Chilhowee Missouri they have been cutting down tree's along the sides of the Rock island trail to heat their home with . This family takes it up on themselves to do as they wish to deface the beauty of the trail please put a stop to this as it makes the trail look bad.

Are the tree's on their land? If so, not much you can do about it. I would suggest if you haven't already, talking to them one on one to see if you can reach a compromise. If they are not on their land, whoever owns that land should be contacted. Good luck either way, hate to see the trail defaced.

Depending on how close the trees are to the trail, they may be the property of MO DNR. I would imagine cutting down trees in a state park is a no no. Contact Mo DNR.

Thank you for reporting this. As mentioned above, this is almost certainly illegal if it’s occurring on the State Park right of way, or if it’s on some other landowner’s property without permission. If it’s on their property, then of course they can do what they want.

The state park right-of-way extends a significant distance past the edge of the trail.

I encourage you to report this to Missouri State Parks (573-449-7402) and to your local law enforcement (Johnson County Sheriff 660-747-6469).

By the way, I’m sorry but for legal reasons, I had to remove the names from your original post.

For the same reasons, wouldn't you want to delete the original posters name too?

That's not a bad idea Anon, can't be too careful with that sort of thing, no need for actual names

The trees are along the trail anywhere from a foot to ten feet of the trail up and down the trail.

Why is nothing being done about this? The trail is like my mother. It feeds us and makes a place for me and my plaything to relax, pick berries and dream dreams. LEAVE US ALONE!!
