Re trees; in my rural area (really mostly forest) we even need a permit to cut a dead tree.
Our permit dept claims the birds need to roost on the dead branches.
Near the lake front simply forget getting a permit, at least for 30 ft.
Folks do develop various techniques to get around the regs, like cut flush to ground and quickly pile earth to hide the stump and haul the evidence off to the forest.
They actually will tell you that such and such a tree can remain for XX years before it will become dangerous.
