The Circuit Court of the county in which real estate is situated has jurisdiction to order an injunction against logging. One should consult a lawyer to file such a suit and Motion for a Temporary Restraining Order because there are particular requirements necessary to support the request. As a matter of prudence, one should put the parties on notice as to where the line is. That is blaze trees, post the line and send a certified letter with a plat to the parties involved. There is a civil penalty imposed against someone who takes timber off the wrong property.
