What's with DFW cutting down all the trees??
The past few weeks I've noticed, in every terminal I've parked at, that all the trees are coming down. Not that it was anything spectacular to begin with but with trees these areas of the airport looked better than they do now.

Maybe it's a Dallas thing 
With EVERY new construction seems they clearcut ALL trees, even if it produces an empty lot that will not be built on
Too many examples to list

If you really want to know, I'd ask them on Twitter or Facebook.

They do cut down trees here a lot, but are you sure they were alive?
A lot of trees and such died last summer with the drought and it seems that people are cutting them down more now that winter has ended and it is clear that the trees are not going to recover.

VERY SURE
I walk to work, so saw the buildings get torn down, then they bulldozed the smaller trees, leaving ones near the sidewalk alone. I knew this is Dallas, it would not last
Sure enough, a week or two later they came out with chainsaws and cut down about ten perfectly good trees (we're talking oaks and such). And this was about a year ago, so before last summer's drought, and the lot is still empty.
