I’ll bet they would rather have had the forest turn into a sea of oil.
A forest of fossilized trees under a coal mine ain’t much of a tourist attraction.

Maybe not a tourist attraction, but large hunks of old wood can be VERY valuable. The below link to an ebay auction is asking $250,000 for a 45 foot long hunk.
