Trimming by NES causes falling trees for some property owners
Nashville Electric Service (NES) expanded tree trimming efforts to reduce power outages, but critics argue the policy risks property damage. A recently trimmed tree fell on an East Nashville home in July, raising concerns about the 15-foot clearance zone and trimming techniques. Residents like Taya Mashburn expressed worries about safety and transparency, while NES reiterated its focus on preventing outages.
