War of the Trees is WSQT's show on environmental issues from lead in DC's water to Free's case to in this case teh inter-County-Connector(ICC) highway.

The ICC is a proposed highway in MD backed by Republican governor Bob Erlich and almost all the real estate and development interests. It has been stopped by teh public for 40 years at this time.

The ICC would cut through forests and wetlands now sufficiently isolated that species such as brown trout and spotted salamanders flourish on parts of the proposed route.

If the ICC is ever built, the only "brown trout" in Paint Branch will come from toilets during storms!
