    As @Encrypt-Keeper put it so well:

    Trees are trees, but trees aren’t forests.

    Forests are what’s actually worth prtotecting. This is not different from a field of corn. There is no ecological value to a farm of pine trees. If you ever walked in one, you would know that.

  Trees are trees, they still have a huge impact on the environment.

    Trees are trees, but trees aren’t forests. And a trees don’t have nearly the ecological impact of forests. In fact, in the U.S. and around the world we have the problem of way too many trees, which is causing ecological damage, because they’re the wrong kind.
