Scotland was once basically a giant forest – but around only 4% of native woodlands now cover the nation’s landmass.
2000 years ago, by the time the Romans first arrived in Scotland, the nation had already lost at least half of the natural woodland which it once had. Much of it was replaced by peatland, which is why Scotland still has so many peaty bogs.
Only around 1% of Scotland’s native pinewood trees remain.
Forest cover in Scotland is now around 16%, but only around 15% of that is from native trees.
As long as its not the native trees, who cares. The space will proably be used for sheep as well.
She said many of the felled trees will have been “replanted on site” or replaced elsewhere, and the vast majority were part of a commercial crop that would have been chopped down anyway “at the end of their rotation”.
Hopefully what they planted was native trees, but your average person doesnt think or care about shit like that!
What they do see is the temporary imbalance of everything, and i would likely be upset too if it were messing with my livelihood, but once everything is grown in and some balance is put back. The pros seem to far outweigh the cons.
My issue with windmills, is they do seem to kill alot of birds. And people bitch about cats ^^.
