"Excessive" farming! Brilliant! There are extant native trees in these islands. There are many factors which severely limit tree growth in these island groups. I have recently returned from an Inner Hebridean island which has no leaves on any of its trees. The parching weather coupled with strong winds a few weeks back has brought an early autumn. Try that for a couple of years.
