Someone might be clearing out an area to build in, building their palisade, building houses, etc.
There's plenty reasons to deforest an area other than bucket grinding.
Bad idea.
I guess there could be an issue involving city building...
Hmmm, but I really love my idea about random Ents popping up and beating the crap outta people...
Then make it a 'civilization' modified value, in a civilized area it is safe to chop trees, but in the deep-dark-woods the Ents will spawn and jack you up. This will do for Forests what the Trolls and Cave-ins do for mines, make them feel dangerous or 'Moria', though the Ents should be weaker then Trolls as wood is a lower grade material. Of course it is only fair that the trees in the deep woods will have higher base quality too to balance the travel time and danger. Even assuming bucket grinding is fixed as an LP exploit it would still make the carrier of Lumber jack more interesting if their were a spectrum of risk-reward options with respect to trees, just as mining became more interesting with rock hardness, supports and Trolls.
