Entire Tree Windbreak Along Kennedy Rd. in Richland is GONE

Holy flying cows! Just how strong was that win last night? The beautiful windbreak of tall trees lining Kennedy Road is suddenly gone. But the wind actually had nothing to do with it. Remember those mysterious piles that showed up? Mulch, Mulch, and more mulch.

The orchard and the grapevines are all gone so I guess the windbreak had to go next. I'm curious why, though. It would have been a nice natural barrier from the traffic on Kennedy Road.

Obviously, more apartment buildings or single-family homes are going up in that area, although my wife thinks it might be an extension of businesses continuing from where Target and all of those stores are just a stone's throw away from here on Queensgate.
