I did this recently, then promptly autodumped because it takes approximately thirty years for fifteen dwarves to move ten thousand logs.

What would it be like to live in a world that was copy/pasted? Would we even notice? If not, how many times have we switched celestial harddrives or whatever?

Leave them there.  Your medium sized woodpile will always be stocked.

I love it.

I usually do similar and put a moat round it all. I recently accidentally set everything within the moat on fire. No deaths, but I had to fell more trees.

It's the first time I've ever had elves get huffy.

Personally I'm a fan of leaving a small orchard and walling it in so my dwarves can collect apples and other fruits capable of being made into booze, but that's me.

I actually like having a lot of trees around. Still living ones, I mean. They have a nice look to them.

I know, I'm a terrible dwarf.

Trees drop fruit, which becomes booze.

This is acceptable.

I habitually clear cut anything that does not grow brew-able fruit. It is a little time consuming to check every tree, or to use DF hack to designate by species of tree, but it is worth it for cherry booze. It is also enough to piss off the elves, which is nice.

Wish there was a faster way than checking each tree, though.

Are the trees defined in the raws? Because you could turn their material into gas, or something.

An excellent point. That is why the surface of my forts are covered with lovely trees.

Not for any other reason.
