Snare among pine trees (3)

I believe the answer is:

net

'snare' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'among pine trees' is the wordplay.
'among' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'NET' is hidden in the letters of 'pine trees'.

(Other definitions for net that I've seen before include "Meshwork" , "Catch; fine fabric" , "Amount remaining after deductions" , "Final profit when all overheads have been deducted" , "Fish-catcher" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
