Sorry if this isn’t the right sub, but every established tree in my local area was cut like this in the past 6 months. Whats the reason for doing this? https://www.allforgardening.com/785596/sorry-if-this-isnt-the-right-sub-but-every-established-tree-in-my-local-area-was-cut-like-this-in-the-past-6-months-whats-the-reason-for-doing-this/

It's called "topping" or "pollarding" and is a managment strategy. In residential areas it is a dumb idea and can lead to complications. There are VERY GOOD reasons to do something similar in agricultural and pasture managment situations.
