Author: N. OCarroll. Citation: OCarroll, N. 2004. Forestry in Ireland - A Concise History. COFORD, Dublin. i To the memory of those who worked hard for little reward and less thanks to create the asset we all now enjoy. ii iii Foreword Ireland’s forest cover and its history is a record of overexploitation, to the extent that forest, in the truest sense of that word, ceased to exist on the island for well over two hundred years prior to the beginning of the twentieth century. Centuries of unsustainable forest management, allied to a grazier society, put paid to indigenous woodlands and any hope of their regeneration.
