Default Lack Of Trees In Irish And British Countrysides

TV documentaries and travelogues reveal a lot of lush "green" in those
countrysides but a relative scarcity of trees. Is it climate? Too
windy in Ireland? Sheep and/or other livestock?

Long story short, the British built ships with which to conquer
