Neighbour cut down mature trees on property line without our permission

I need some advice.

Our neighbour cut down large trees on our property line without our permission. 2 were 50ft white pines that were very healthy. The reason they said was they did not like the pine needles falling on their house (lol we live in the country surrounded by trees) Diameters of trees at the stump where they cut them were 11 inches and 15 inches.

These trees gave my young family privacy from this neighbours home business that has tons of people coming and going daily. For years they have been encroaching on our property, but cutting down our trees was our breaking point.

We are in Ontario, specifically Scugog township.

Please let me know any advice you may have and if we should call bylaw or pursue a lawsuit.

Thank you
