Former Lockheed Martin CEO will need to plant more than wildflowers, shrubs, grasses and 400 trees to replace the old, tall trees he took down last year on his property along the C&O Canal, the National Park Service says.
Having land doesn't always mean one may change it any way one wishes, especially if the land is part of a scenic easement overseen by the National Park Service. Former Lockheed Martin CEO Robert J. Stevens, who lives on an estate in the Merry-Go-Round Farm community overlooking the Potomac River and the C&O Canal in Potomac, cleared trees from 35,000 square feet of land this past summer, Potomac Patch reported last October.
