As an ecologist, I appreciate this so much. The British Isles were dominated by temperate rainforests until the late Mesolithic and early Neolithic period and then they were dramatically transformed into cleared areas and managed forests. Agricultural technology appears to have come to the British Isles later than mainland Europe, but when it did, the forests were overwhelmingly cut down. Early trade records indicate a net import of lumber to medieval, what is now, England.

I own fourteen acres of this kind of wild growth. I am always tempted to clear it out and make some use of it, but when I walk through and see all the life that is thriving, I always get a soft spot in my heart and leave it alone. I have cleared only a trail to traverse from one side to the other. Nothing more. And even that was left along the sides of the trial to keep it natural as possible. I get dozens of request to harvest some of the more valuable timber (walnut, oak and ash) because it is so old. I have a walnut that is two feet in diameter, 60 feet high and almost perfectly straight with very few knots or branches. I have been offered $10,000 for it alone.

We have been forced to cut down a couple of 200+ years old oaks recently, as the neighbours complained about the occassional branch breaking off and falling on thier fence or garage. (No actual harm was done, but... insurance, you know.) It really pained me to see those trees go. Everyone around just *knew* we were just doing it for the money, and would be Filthy Rich (tm) for it. Turned out the oaks had been rotting away from the inside (as oaks are known to do). We got just enough money out of the trees to pay the woodcutter. Keep your wild growth preserved. It's a place of nature, and a place of peace. We have too few of those as it is.

There were a couple of small patches of real ancient woodland near to where I used to live in Cumbria - in the Vale of Eden. Age: about 10,000 years. I went into them both and it was amazing to see the sheer variety of plant life inside. The trees there are mainly Silver Birch, Mountain Ash, Scots Pine, Hazel, and a few Oak. A lot of light gets through to the forest floor, which has areas of Bracken, Heather, Bilberry, Crowberry and, in the wetter areas, Sphagnum Moss. These fragments used to be part of the forest that covered Britain soon after the last ice-age. They're not open to the public, but there was no one around to see me. Felt very privileged to be able to see how the North of England looked 10,000 years ago, before man cleared the forests.

As an American, I was kind of shocked by the idea of un-managed woods being something special. It is all over the place in the Eastern US and elsewhere. Even in logged areas, we keep the brush out as it grows back. We just cut it, leave it for years, and then come back and cut again. But pretty much any land in the Eastern US that doesn't have a building, yard, or farm on it is un-managed forest. There is so much forest that most of it isn't logged on a regular basis (mainly because it looks ugly when logged and the money only makes up for that so much, so most people don't want loggers on their property). I live in a rural area and I have almost 5 acres of un-managed forest on my property.

Its very easy to differentiate an untouched forest from one in which people gather firewood. In remote areas the amount of deadfall makes it impossible to travel without climbing over huge piles of deadwood every 10 feet. The arrowhead of Minnesota is like this. There is a multi million acre wilderness area called the BWCA (Boundary Waters Canoe Area), where you can penetrate deep into the northwoods. If you were forced to walk out, you would make about 2 miles per day - its that dense.

Native Americans in the Eastern US with stone tools didn't even have forests like this. They burned out the underbrush yearly so to make traveling and hunting much easier as well as clearing large sections of forests entirely especially after being introduced to iron. The Myth that more primitive humans were at harmony with nature is nonsense, they didn't like the idea of getting ambushed by wolves anymore than we do. Edit: and you just said the exact same thing right after I posted this lol.

I own a large amount of land in Ma, US and I do not really mange it. The trees are basically doing whatever they want. When I was younger I used to cut some for firewood but as I have aged that has stopped. My neighbors let their forest free range too. The largest land owner is a logging company and they do manage their land. They clear cut a few acres and then they move on to the next area. In a few years the forest fills in pretty nicely. Its great having the logging company as my neighbor has they never build on their land. They cleared some land across the street from me and now they will never cut again in my life. Its all good.

Hi, Lindybeige. I'm an environmental scientist. One of the things we study is how people interact with their landscapes. In fact, one of the problems that we encounter when trying to restore landscapes to 'ancient' conditions is that,well, we don't know what the ancient landscape was actually like. For example, the American Parks Service tries to recreate landscapes that existed before Columbus arrived in 1492. The only real problem with that, is that these 'wild' landscapes were, in fact, actually very carefully managed by their Native American caretakers. So, the great big open forests of the Northwest, for example, only existed because the Natives regularly set fire to them! There isn't really a landscape on Earth that man hasn't touched and molded in some way, which is why you have to be careful when talking about what 'natural' is.

This is something people don't realize about forests in America too, especially along the Atlantic coastline. You see when Europeans arrived, those forests were at the end stage of species succession (in ecology, succession refers to the order that species re-colonize after a disruption in the landscape. So like after Mt. St. Helens erupted and leveled vast tracts of mountainside, the first species in the succession cycle were ferns, followed by hardy shrubs, and now faster-growing trees like pine), and that end stage was one of the most impressive trees to ever exist - the American Chestnut. A mighty relative of the beech, the American Chestnut grew nearly 100 ft tall, and was the foundation species for the Mid-Atlantic forest belt. It provided the forest ecosystem with two vital food sources - its leaf fall was high in many essential minerals so it fed other plant species and contributed to extremely fertile soil along the Ohio river valley, and its annual nut crop helped fatten many animals just in time for winter. Then came the chestnut blight, and the tree that once defined the region, that was an essential part of American colonial and native culture, that provided the lumber from which a young United States built its first navy, the source of the chestnuts in the "chestnuts roasting on an open fire" song, was killed by a fungus in a few short years. The loss of four billion American chestnut trees destroyed the American lumber industry for decades, and is in no small part responsible for the invention of steel reinforced concrete as an alternative to traditional wood construction. Then there's the fact that it also decimated the brown bear population in the Appalachians since the bears relied on chestnuts for fattening up before hibernation, and the loss of these trees, whose mast was a great food source, directly contributed to the extinction of the Passenger Pigeon, once the most populous bird in North America, as well as the Ivory Billed Woodpecker, which relied on its dead logs for food. The surviving "forests" of today are nothing compared to the primeval world we have destroyed, and the sad part is we don't even realize it since nobody alive has seen what a pristine forest ecosystem is really like.

There hasn't been any people alive to see an untouched forest for recorded history would be more accurate, perhaps the taigas are the least touched but they are one of the simplest and least diverse types that exist, so there are some that fairly quickly reach their last stage quickly despite slow growth. The first records of the amazon forest showed less than half of what was around in the early 1900's is what the first Europeans considered its natural range because of the agricultural peoples that would clear forest and then move on to another section when it no longer became fertile, they are the most fragile type of forest there is and one of two types of forest that are in possible future danger long term and have the most diversity both of plant and animals of all the forest types, they only grew to their later larger sizes when these peoples mostly left there old way of life for a new one with 3 exceptions now reservations, people were surprised when they were given that land that that cleared the entire area just make an attempt at resurrecting their lost cultural ways of their ancestors, but there is no way to know how accurate they are doing this because they are many generations and hundreds of years separated with only claims of oral tradition among people living a completely new life, a little hard to believe but if true, eh, I personally don't care one way or another. The rain-forests, both sub-tropic and tropical can be contrasted with the temperate forests that are so resilient that as timber tonnage from them increases, their growth rate is able to increase in area and more surprisingly density indefinitely with current knowledge of forestry for future needs of timber of all those alive today and probably for the lifetime of many future generation, yet they are in zero danger as many of them are actually protected or even more and better on private land of those that value their natural evolution above the resources they provide or even the private hunting organizations and some individuals that have some of the most impressive forests with deer population near ranch-like size, essentially an unlimited food source and the largest local populations of deer ever recorded. Or by people that balance the three. These forests grow like weeds and the wildlife populations mostly are small in diversity and reproduce relatively quickly and insanely quickly when timbered in a way that provides them the ideal habitat.
@chrisclifford64575 жыл бұрын
No, the forests that colonists found were certainly not primeval. The Indians (the natives) were intelligent and so actively managed the forests. They girdled (killed) tree species that didn't provide things they wanted in order to promote trees that produced what they sought, particularly nuts that they ate or that game species ate. That's why there were so many Chestnut and Oak trees. They also burned forests to create clearings for farming and to promote game species for hunting. One of the best examples of this was the Hempstead Plains on Long Island.

Well, even in ENgland I have massive doubts on the possibility for 3 million of English to manage forests that covers not the entire country, of course, but a rather great part. Moreover, during nearly all the middle-ages population growth, and so new villages emerge and land is gained by chopping woods and do large cuts in forests. I don't think that peoples could do this if they managed (and so, use) all the forest, I imagine more like islands of civilization (and so managed woods) in the wild territory. Of course, it depends of the period, the early middle-age is not the late and the post Black-death is not the pre black-death ^^ If I take France, my country, in 1350, it was 15 millions of frenchies who lived in the territory, in 1500 it was 18 millions and in 1770, nearly 27 millions. It's a big augmentation, nearly twice men and I think that if the 15 millions of 1350 use all the forest, the 27 millions of 1770 will be in big troubles ^^'

The native Californians used to manage their forests. They didn't leave things as they were; they would help clear space around large oaks and redwoods and would periodically burn grassland, which made it more fertile. They also would frequently pick wild roots, pulling them out of the ground and helping to aerate the soil. Their interaction with the surrounding environment was like a symbiotic relationship and kept the land healthier and the forests free from disease.

Thank you so much. Bravo. When I was a few years younger than you, they told me that there was a small forest in Poland that had enormous trees. You could tour it with a guide, but if you raised your voice or kicked over a bit of the mossy forest floor, you would be kicked out and asked never to return. Little dawn age horses (some sort of opaque name starting like prz... or something. I think they more recently changed that name) would peer from among the mighty boles. The Nazis captured it and said, "Whee. Methanol." Word came from above, touch not a single bough. Then the Soviets got it and said, "Whee, firewood." Same order. The reason was that this was the last bit of the "virgin" forest that once reached from Mediterranean to Arctic. Then Poland got its freedom, and the forest was managed using, "modern forestry technique," which of course meant they took down all the big trees and kicked the horses out because they were "really" not native. But there's a happy ending. Chernobyl is so radioactive you can't spend much time there to screw it up. The horses, having almost died out, flourish along with anything else that doesn't need a film badge. Suddenly I like nuclear power a lot better. (o: Oh, yeah. I think Revelation says, "And I saw a star fall burning like a lamp at it fell upon the land and upon the waters and rendered the waters bitter so they many men died of the bitterness of the water, and the name of the star was Wormwood." I've probably got it wrong, so check it before you use it. It should have continued, "And Ukrainian for Wormwood is Chernobyl." Spooky old world.

My understanding is that forests were 'nurseries for beggars ad vagrants" as one early moderner put it, and the legal definition of a forest was different that the concept we have of a forest today. William the Conqueror and Henry VII especially cracked down on poaching and extended their royal reach into the forests for game hunting and social control.

"Forest" in the middle ages meant a place reserved for royalty and nobility to hunt (mainly deer), not a place of trees. In the lowlands, forests would generally be mainly woodland but in the uplands they would be moorland. This concept was introduced to Britain by the Normans who created forests, not by planting trees (remember, forest didn't mean trees in those days) but by removing people's right to hunt and forage there. For example, the New Forest was created in the 11th century - that's why it was called "new" - but the woodland there is thousands of years old (and about a quarter of the New Forest is heathland, also thousands of years old, but this is also forest). There's a good account of the history and legal aspects of the forests in "The History of the Countryside" by Oliver Rackham
