Thread: Can't See The Forest

I am around an urban sprawl.
The developments going up like crazy.

For asstetic purposes they leave some trees.
What they don't realize (or ignore the fact if they do) is that those trees developed in the midst of a forest and adapted that way.
Having the trees stripped from around them, if they get lucky enough to not have severe root damage, they will most likely die in a five year period before they can acclimate to their new environment.

It was a great view, medium-sized forest full of tree's, nice privacy. Now all it is are a bunch of trees with a road going through it, with Colonials going to be built.
