I think one important point is that the initial plan had them cutting down over 400 trees, and they’ve reduced it to 172.
And just by parsing the language, it seems like most of the cut trees are not *that* huge.
It is indeed too bad about the handful of bigger ones they have to cut. At this point I have to imagine they tried to save as many as possible and that that part of the route doesn’t leave them with any alternative.
