I completed my first 15 trees, with some help from my daughter Megan. They looked like a bunch of trees on the piece of styrofoam, but on the layout they barely covered anything. Looks like I need about 100 more just to cover the mountains behind Jasper. I don't even want to think about how many I need in total!
