Hello all,

Not the best with illustrator and having a problem with a selection. In the picture below I am trying to remove/select the middle row of trees so a gradient can show through. In PS I would just lower fill to 0% or ctrl+click and remove the selection from the top layer. Not so in AI... Im guessing it has something to do with a clipping mask? eehhh.. im going to keep trying  but if anyone can point me in the right direction or help out with a tutorial I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks for the read and enjoy the day/night!
