Cut Trees - Kentucky Road Southbound

Trees in Kentucky of more than one meter diameter should be considered special natural resources and kept from harm.  Ronald Jones writes this in Plant Life of Kentucky and explains the importance of protecting these mature trees to our environment.   The trees harvested and placed on this truck are large and some of them may exceed the diameter standard.
