Do you mass-flatten trees to get meadow environment?

With the latest update, there's a pretty strong incentive to specialize and have either as much forest (for pigs and leather) or meadow (for fields and pastures) as possible. In principle trees are resources that you can sell in one form or another, but I find that even with several wood cutting buildings, it takes a long time to make a dent.

Do you have better wood management or do you just use fields or similar to mass-flatten trees? Or do you just ignore the specialization into meadow?
