The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) has put forth an unusual recommendation: The agency suggests that
all trees along more than 14,000 miles (22,530 kilometers) of national levees be chopped down. Levees are
specially designed to protect low-lying communities from floods. The USACE is concerned about trees that grow
within 15 feet (4.6 meters) of the levees. It is believed that tree roots could damage the structures. Meanwhile,
many civil engineers, environmentalists, and citizens have protested the instructions from USACE to remove
trees. They insist that trees pose little or no risk to levees. They say that trees actually help stabilize the soil
surrounding the structures.
