Never too many trees. I'm in southern NC and my fear and concern is the disappearance of the hardwoods. Oaks,hickories,maples and others are clearcut and replaced with short-leaf, fast growing pines. At least there is a no cut buffer zone around streams. Maybe my great grandchildren can find a birch tree to look at if they try hard enough. Greg, I can see what you are saying,but there is no grander view than the mountain hardwoods. In the years to come the whole world will wish we had appreciated them more.
