When I was a young’un in the 60s we had a house with a nice creek behind it and about 40 acres beyond that creek, half cow pasture half oak trees we played in. Some of those oaks were 200 years old, when I was in high school (so not bothered by such things) they cut those all down and put in an apartment complex now full of dreamers.
Looking back now that was the saddest part of my youth losing those trees.

You sound like Tolkien. That was part of his childhood as well. That was the Shire. He has a wonderful park named after him that is in stewardship and protected.

You had a very lucky youth if that was the saddest part.
