It’s safe to say that George H. Russell has a different relationship with trees than many people. It’s not just that he’s an advocate for trees; they are part of his religion, according to a federal complaint he filed in U.S. District Court in Houston July 14.

Altom, et al., Russell was arrested after interfering with a tree-trimming crew that was working on power lines after Hurricane Ike in 2008 in his neighborhood in Huntsville, Texas.
