The great forests of England were destroyed by the early steel

to see what is the real problem in the world take a look at a night
image of the population centres of the UK & Europe. Not much room
between the lights for trees to grow.
Another factor was England's marine fleets. The main masts on large
sailing ships literally grew on trees!
