This is mostly true about the U.K. too. They were mostly deforested by 1350, and though Charles I tried to save the forests in the 1700s they were almost gone by 1900. Today, the U.K is something like 10% forested, but most of it has been planted since 1900 (when it was 3-4% forested).

Why do you think they invented golf there? The who place was just one giant green for 7 centuries.
