Technically, we transplant trees or plant more than we chop down.

Trees were native to the land where autzen was built. Not all that native to the berkeley hills.

End of story.

This would have been a better name for the article:

The backs of Third World labor are paying for planting of trees and other vegetation on its north side

Currently, it's just grass so this should be an improvement....

AND all the trees that were chopped down were (some of) those that we originally planted.

Sandy should have put up in big letters:
"No old growth trees were injured during the making of this stadium."
