Someone on this site suggested a trick:

Just as your expansion gets into the final minute or so, select a habitat (I use red as it's the cheapest), place it over the expansion area, and keep clicking on the green arrow. It sometimes puts the habitat in place and no trees. Since it's cheaper than clearing those $800,000 trees, I don't even mind if I have to sell the red habitat and put in a different color later.

This has worked twice for me, but a couple of times it didn't. LittleBearFan
