I call these sitka plantations as "Dead forests". My Finnish heart is shivering and crying when I see these abodaminations around. Nothing grows there. It is dead land. Real forest is FULL of life! It is full of food for people and animals a like. It provides shelter and protection. Your soul rests easy when you walk through it. You collect mushrooms and berries different times of the year and it brings abundance and prosperity to all!
If only the Irish forestry industry planted 1000s of natives instead of this crap , non native tree up and down the country! They create eco deadzones!! The island will be happy when all these trees are felled and replaced with natives 😊
Hopefully more planting projects can be done to plant more NATIVE trees in ireland!

Sitka desert
planting sitkas is considered a mistake here in Norway, as they totally dominate historical plant species. We try to get rid of them these days.
I hope that Ireland takes notes and learns from this mistake.
