The following is a copy of a law found in Troll's Bane's 'Town Laws and Charter' parchment.
Too often I have come into our town to find it void of cherry trees that I have very recently planted. Once again, the trees within the walls are off-limits as far as chopping and sawing are concerned.Trolls Bane wrote: § 11. Lumberjack Restrictions
§ 11.1 It is illegal, unless stated otherwise by the Governor of Trolls Bane, to cut down or saw apart trees within the city of Trolls Bane.
§ 11.2 Trees planted or found outside the walls of Trolls Bane but still on the territory of Trolls Bane are free for all aspiring lumberjack or carpenter. They are planted and set there for the purpose of being used to further carpenters.
§ 11.3 If caught cutting down or sawing down trees within Trolls Bane, without a statement from the Governor saying it was acceptable to do so, you will be charged at least 50 copper coins and up to 100 copper coins depending on the damage done. All items you had gotten from the trees will also be confiscated.
The trees do not replant themselves, and I spend much time walking along the outskirts of the town and hauling buckets so that aspiring carpenters and lumberjacks may have trees available to them. I would appreciate it greatly if people would obey the laws set forward in the Charter.
Second, I would like to remind everyone that it is advantageous to all to saw only a few branches at once ((Please, two max)), because it increases the chance of a tree's survival, making more trees available for a longer period of time.
Thank you for your consideration,
