Charges filed in thefts of black walnut trees last year in Flint 
April 15, 2008, 6:20PM FLINT, Michigan --

A Flint man could face prison time for allegedly masterminding a plan to illegally chop down valuable trees.

John W. Harding, 44, is charged with two counts of tree larceny for two separate incidents last year in Flint in which valuable black walnut trees were cut down.

Genesee County Prosecutor David S. Leyton said Harding is charged with stealing trees from a vacant lot on Van Lue Court Nov. 12 and more trees on Dec. 21 from a spot on Church Street.

The black walnut trees were worth an estimated $3,000 each and are popular among furniture makers, said Leyton.

Police arrested six people the day after the December incident and police seized two semitrailers, a front-end loader and chainsaws. Leyton said Harding was the only one charged because investigators believe he had told the others it was OK to cut down the trees.

"This is the guy who provided information to others that trees could be cut down," said Leyton.

Investigators believe Harding planned to sell the wood, said Leyton.

In January, a tree expert told the Journal that increased demand in Asia has driven up the demand for black walnut wood. Read more
