I hope you are so lucky.  My station was built in the middle of the 
forest (boarders the national forest).  It took me more time to take down 
and move trees than it did to put up all the towers combined. 

When it comes to trees, my advice is to figure out what trees you need to 
take down.  Then take 50% more.  This advice was given to me by K5ZD and 
I chose to ignore it.  The tree-man was happy I did.
