I remember Argent saying in season three that if anything happened to a nemeton it could effect the surrounding area negativly, like natural disasters and disease. Then when Kate was playing that tape in season 4, if I remember correctly it said the town (Beacon) suffered heavy damage and the Hales used their wealth to help build it. I would have to look at the episode again to remember exacly what the tape said. Whoever did it either didn't know or didn't care what would happen when they cut the nemeton down.
