Legal Question in Environmental Law in Pennsylvania

Tree Cutting

My wife and I live in Maryland but own property in Butler County Pennsylvania. Our neighbors had their property logged. In the process the people that logged their property crossed the property line and cut some of our trees down after being told by a friend that he thought they were over the property line. What are my legal rights and what legal recorse(s) do I have.
