Leaving most of the forested region alone in its natural state would result in the least amount of soil erosion. The root systems of trees hold the soil in place, and leaving the ecosystem intact minimizes disturbance and preserves the natural balance of the area. Planting a few ornamental trees can also add aesthetic value to the property without disrupting the existing ecosystem.
