Neighbor Killed A 50-year-old Tree Without Permission

Card image cap

Hello!

The property in question is one I don't visit often because I never thought there would be problems, but here I am! (Saying this because of the inevitable question of "how did you not notice this happened?")

My neighbor cut down a 50-year-old tree that was on my property. He was worried it was growing into his property, so he cut off all the branches and now it's all piled on my property.

I know where I am (Wisconsin) allows for overhanging limbs and such to be cut and removed, but the tree is unsalvagable because all the branches have been cut off.

The neighbor didn't ask for permission to cut down the tree, they only briefly mentioned years ago that they thought it was encroaching onto their property.

I'm wondering about what legal options could be taken here.

Thank you!
