I live in 12 Oaks in Holly Springs, a development which is exploding with new homes. They are clear cutting forests left and right since I have moved in, which if I had known, I might have reconsidered. I have only lived there a little over a year, but apparently in the past, the developer Landeavor had said that they would preserve this incredible 150+ yr old tree. Sadly, we now see that the lot has been sold. Has anyone had experience with this and can anything be done to preserve this old beauty?
Does the local government or hoa have a tree ordinance that forces the preservation of certain trees? If not, then the owner can most likely do what he/she wants.
The apartments next to Broughton HS are going to get torn down in favor of a new modern complex. The trees there are BEAUTIFUL. And I just know they are going to raze the whole lot.

Contact the mayor's office in Holly Springs and ask them.
How big is the lot and where is this tree positioned on the lot?

Ask the folks at Cary Village Mall / Cary Towne Center how not to do it. They tried to save a giant oak tree when they expanded the mall and it died shortly afterward.

In that case, they knew the tree was close to the end of its natural life, had an arborist look at it and told them that even without the work that was going to occur it was not lasting too much longer. But due to outcry, they agreed to try to save it at considerable cost. But, it died anyway.
