Destruction of Irish Woods After English Conquest
The passage notes extensive removal of oak and pine forests in Ireland following English dominance in the twelfth century. Landlords aimed to expand arable land, deprive natives of shelter, and fuel military needs, leading to widespread cutting of trees. A Kerry estate alone saw timber worth $100,000 felled after 1688. Before long only a fraction of Ireland remained forested.
