If the trees were cut by someone unknown and it was not on Villages property, then why did the Villages get fined in the first place?



How did the state agency find the Villages at fault?

Let me correct something I said. The land is owned by TV, but is under the jurisdiction and use controls of the the state agency noted above. (South West Water Management District .. I think) TV is subject to tremendous numbers of regulations from this agency. It's kind of like if you want to remove a tree of significant size from your property you must get permission from TV. If you do not, TV can require that you replace that tree.
