Humanity has a duty of taking care of wild life, whenever you have a new land remember that land is supporting life, so consider the wild life. A tree no matter how insignificant it may seem it can be a habitat for birds, insects, reptiles and other mammals. Open wet areas provide water to animals like frogs, newts and salamanders, the wet area can also be a feeding area for birds and animals that eat amphibians.
