Fisher resident voices concern over removal of trees

FISHER – The mayor is promising to make amends to a homeowner after most of the trees bordering his property were cut down in an effort to clean out a portion of Owl Creek that flows through the village.

"I'm concerned about holding the banks behind the house now that the 13 trees on top of the bank are all gone," Terry Primmer told the Fisher Village Board on Thursday night. "I knew nothing about it (ahead of time) and I came home and the trees were all gone."
