We have several trees in my part of America that one has to get a permit to cut down. Two that I specifically know of here where I live are pines and oaks, because I have a pine and two oaks on my property, and I'd like to get rid of the pine and one oak but I can't.

President Trump just recently signed some UN "Trillion trees initiative" or something like that, so I think there's a good chance that trees are going to start getting more attention, care and protection from the world.
