I believe it is easier to propose a holistic solution than treat rewilding as separate from commercial operations too. I'm not sure if it's possible to be a purist when it comes to Irish fauna. See: the last paragraph of the abstract in this. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
MuddyDuck (@muddyduckworkshop.bsky.social) reply parent
I think my argument would be more along the lines of creating a managed ecosystem, free of invasives but not necessarily free of introduced species. A "managed ecosystem" is what would be preferable in commercial farming or forestry operations rather than a monoculture after all.
MuddyDuck (@muddyduckworkshop.bsky.social) reply parent
I don't know about the linguistics, but there's certainly a full century of central economic planning and ingrained silvicultural "knowledge" to contend with.
MuddyDuck (@muddyduckworkshop.bsky.social) reply parent
So, even when the FC had access to better land, post WWII, it grew Sitka. You can walk through Hook Park in Devon and see the Oak stumps from the native woodland it cleared to make way for Sitka and the "experimental" (for the time) Beech monocultures.
MuddyDuck (@muddyduckworkshop.bsky.social) reply parent
IIRC the contenders were P. Sylvestris and Sitka. There isn't a sawmill on the planet that willingly works with sappy, stringy, sticky Scots Pine so Sitka won. Let's be honest it is a bit of a wunderkind. Subsequently, 2 generations of foresters and the weight of the FC was entirely Sitka-centric.
MuddyDuck (@muddyduckworkshop.bsky.social) reply parent
Ireland's specific political MMV, but the economics is the same. The Forestry Commission was created post WWI essentially to ensure that GB would not run out of timber again, during the next trench war The land it was given, "unproductive" uplands, was only suitable for a few species economically

The 2nd was ratified in 1791. A year later the Militia Acts were enacted. 2 years after that, the Militia Act was used to put down the Whiskey Rebellion. Can you join the dots? Also, read what the conscripted members of the militia had to provide at their own expense. Imagine that now.

As you like to emphasise, you're living in a rainforest (or should be). It's beneficial in that climate to not have vegetation next to the house as it traps humidity and creates a damp environment. A Rowan next to the front door is acceptable. And all the social signalling stuff.
