I vote for chopping them down.
"I vote for chopping them down."
I am against chopping them down. A chainsaw is much more efficient. Remove all the trees and brush that weren't there at the time of the battle. Restore the field to what it would have looked like around the time of the battle. It gives a better sense of the battle terrain. If you don't do it, it becomes just an overgrown field. Those who don't want the field maintained are like the libs who won't allow forest management. What next, allow some oak trees to grow at the Custer battlefield?
