  Please identify the trees A = Pine - fell, very large and taking like away and overwhelming other native trees B, C, D, E, F G, I, J = Leylandii - fell, blocking light from native trees (native trees will flourish with more light etc post felling) and need to be removed because the pond area and stream have severe drainage problems, which go into the field, causing flooding and severe drainage problems. When trees are removed the drainage can be fixed (much water is being wasted), and existing trees will flourish. H - pussy willow - has already fallen, requires clearing
