    Of course we can never build our nests and at the same time have no effect on the environment. In effect, like all creatures large and small we are (and shape) the environment. Thus, the real question is, how can we do that and help shape the most sustainable and desirable environment. That relies on our vision. If our vision of the perfect environment is a paved over subdivision in the ‘burbs, then likely the future won’t be pretty. I think you have it right: oak stays. And maybe when the final landscape is planned, there will be some little oaks and maples and other species that in a hundred years will be appreciated. Except by pave-over visionaries, who always see trees as obstacles.
