    Law says it has to remain in forestry, so hopefully there will still be grants to replant...,.

    you have 2 options OP. reclaim the land and pay back all grants including grants covering the establishment works

    or plant an equal area somewhere else to allow you reclaim said lands (you wouldnt be getting an extra grant to help you do this

    neither are cheap so be sure your going to be better off once you reclaim the land

    seems like a waste of land,tree wouldn't grow on land that trees have grown before. wouldn't be benifical to grow crop or feed animals.dead trees are good for no one. a hedgerow with bushes and trees are good for everyone

    i see what you're trying to say now. the land has to be replanted following a clearfell by law.

    and by the way trees grow even better second time around not worse as you say. a rotation length can often be reduced by approx 5 years second time around.
    its due to factors like improved drainage, lots of freely available urea from decaying needles, rotting stumps providing a more slow release dose of nutrients over the years and a better soil structure

    Surely trees are a crop just like grass or cereals.

    Do the pine needles not take forever to break down? I heard they increase the pH of the soil.

    Most planted forests are dark,no plants other than thin conifers or half dead token native trees. It's sad.

    It's purely subjective. Go to the Pacific Northwest and see Sitka/Hemlock/Fir /Western Red cedar in their mature majesty...it could be like that here someday.

    Trees, trees against the sky -
    O I have loved them well!
    There are pleasures you cannot buy,
    Treasurers you cannot sell,
    And not the smallest of these
    Is the gift and glory of trees. . . .
    So I gaze and I know now why
    It is good to live - and to die. . . .
    Trees and the Infinite Sky.

    I think you are unfair to refer to either of the above posters as a troll but there was certainly no need for this thread to run to a second page.
