I completely understand Heineken selling the land, as apple cider sales are down.

But gratuitously tearing down the trees for absolutely zero good reason is just spite and vandalism.

Yes.

Seeking a profit is, of course, understandable,
when it aims at people making a decent living
within a civilised society.

But unchecked greed-driven mentalities,
which can only think in terms of financial profit,
lead us on a dangerous path.

This is but a mild example of the apparent
stupidity/folly/sociopathy.
