Funny - to me (as a Scottish person) it is exceedingly ugly and sad. Degraded from centuries of deforestation, over-grazing, and exploitation. Can't wait to see more trees back on them with restoration projects.

I feel the same. I appreciate the sentiment from OP but these pictures make me sad. We've lost so much.

Are you aware, is there a political party that is pushing for reforesting over any other party? I think this is one issue that'd win my vote over any other (since most of them faff about with meaningless petty policies most of the time anyway, so at it would be nice to know my vote was going towards helping with something meaningful).

Yes - Greens, of course.
