Trouble is that is 100% lost income, but worth it, because the environment is our most precious resource.

That’s great. Our old farm (on the prairies) had 100’s of trees, and acres of nice natural undisturbed land for various wildlife habitats from deer and pheasants to burrowing owls and rattlesnakes. Current owners bulldozed the trees and ploughed under every last acre, they now make money from property line to property line but it does not look much like a farm anymore. It’s quite sad actually, can’t even drive by there anymore.
