Did Scotland Ever Have Trees at Christian Corlette blog

Did Scotland Ever Have Trees. Ever since the first foresters entered scotland’s ancient wildwood over 6000 years ago, scotland’s trees and woodlands have been felled and harvested. Shetland used to be covered in woodland, but its native trees disappeared around 5,000 years ago. An integral part of that. As our population grew, more wood. Part of that story is under the canopy of scotland’s woodlands, evidence of past lives preserved both above and below ground. Now a new trial has produced a nut from one of its last surviving hazel trees. But it isn’t so obvious that humans have been clearing scottish woodlands for millennia. Not only has trees for life brought scots pine back to areas it had been lost from for generations, but it has grown rare trees such as aspen and mountain. We all know that deforestation is a global problem. Only a tiny fraction of our original native forest cover.
