A 327 Year History and Interactive Timeline of Treble Damages in US Tree Law

I did not know I needed to read this.

Not sure if I am surprised that model legislation was not developed in this area of law, but am surely pleased that DC is recognized: "Washington D.C.'s Tree Preservation Enhancement Act (2023-2024) increased penalties for Heritage Tree removal. The federal Neighborhood Tree Act of 2023 supports state and local tree protection efforts."

The modern developments are intriguing and they previously tied deeper into emotional and property value levels with precedent, but have taken a more modern approach based around environmentalism efforts that parallel the original lumber and forestry intents from things like free planting being legal but the cutting of another person's timber being treble damaged to disincentivize. It's all quite interesting. And with America's predisposition to single family homes with large yards (versus more dense urban cores with multifamily much more common in the rest of the world) there is a large well of potential disputes to flow to influence the law with real dollar risks of civil liability as things go onwards.

I compiled this after over a decade of stalking tree law posts on /r/legaladvice and later /r/treelaw. I hope someone else enjoys.
