Do you really want to (have to) cut down that tree? In many places
you won't have any obligation to do anything if it fell because of
natural causes.

My BIL bought two acres with a creek BED running through it. The
water only flows when it rains. He got his front end loader out and
cleaned it up a lot. It drained a lot better.

His piece of **** neighbor turned him into the state for altering the
flow of a stream. The investigators came and investigated. They
commended him for his work, as it improved flow and he had removed
trash. They also advised him that he SHOULD have asked permission
first and gotten a permit. They fined him $25, the cost of a permit.
They said they didn't want to fine him anything since he had helped
the creek flow, and removed dead wood and trash, but since the
neighbor was on paper, and he was technically wrong, they had to cite
him, and did so for the minimum amount.

So, even though you may be thinking of helping someone, remember:

No good deed goes unpunished.

You may get into trouble.

BTW, he now shoots any skunk that comes down there and throws the
carcass onto the neighbor's property. Or just shoots the ones that
are already on the neighbor's property.

I'd be squeezing the skunk's glands onto his neighbor's stuff....
