anthropic, thanks for the advice. Most of the trees are less than 8" in diameter. The pines were definately planted in a row, and I think that lead to a situation where the other trees got a foothold. I will have to decide how far out from the toe of the dam to cut - there are some larger trees near what I think was the orignial toe of the dam that I would like to leave if possible.

They've gone to plaid.
