Explanation:

The story shows Adair is affected by the elk's sadness over chopped - down trees and pleads with Ezriel not to cut timber, while Ezriel says they've taken trees for generations and rides forth. This indicates Adair seems to care more about the forest's well - being rather than tradition, and there is no indication of the other options in the story.
