Makes you wonder.

Mind we've no room to gloat, didn't we do the same to England's old and massive oaks to build Nelson's navy?

Not really, most of the oaks for ship building came from forests planted for that purpose and were replaced to provide more in a few decades time. We've lost a lot of woodland since wooden ships went out of fashion.

I don't think that's entirely right. Forests have been managed for at least a thousand years, but as I understand it trees weren't planted as such, it was more a case of managing what just happened to grow, and it wasn't until the Napoleonic wars and cruk oak was desparately scarce that woodland was planted as such.
