The removal of several trees along the banks of the Roaring Fork river has some Glenwood Springs residents up in arms:

Glenwood Springs Post Independent-The chopping of dozens of trees along the edges of the Roaring Fork River in the River Meadows Mobile Home Park last weekend and on Monday has provoked a strong reaction from both resident Deborah Hord and some of her neighbors... "I'm here requesting or trying to make people see that we need to implement laws to protect our trees," Hord told the City Council Thursday night. "I know that we are a tree city and to not have any laws to protect our trees - what does that say? I'm still pretty upset because it's torn up the riparian and the wildlife. It's destroyed pretty much everything there."

Now, the Glenwood Springs City Council is considering laws about tree cutting.
