Leaving 120 essentially sticks will be even more vulnerable to blow over. Unless they are interplanting with other tree species (maples, oaks etc.) with the idea of eventually removing the remaining pines, I don't see the value. They did that when they built my neighbourhood park. They thinned out a thicket of aspen, and planted longer-lived species. Now the latter has taken over and the dereccho storm took out most of the remaining softwood aspen trees.
