Is 600 years the qualifying age for ancient woodland in UK?
Up here in the Frostpit we reckon 300 years, but perhaps that's just a
practical limit to single out some areas more worthy of protection
than others. I'd reckon that absolutely all coniferous forest (well...
we don't have much deciduous

If you want forest to go back to the untouched by man state, it takes several
thousand years. What folks do not realize is that before the development of
metal tools the forests were man's unrelenting enemy slowly taking over any
cleared land.

Because it needs to go through a couple of cycles before it is a purely natural
forest. The US has lots of what I call National Woodlots (National Forests)
that have been more or less allowed to grow wild for 50-100 years. They are
still just overgrowth and not a real forest. They never will be
I can only begin to imagine what the deforestation by Europeans in
America meant. I've seen some stuff on the Redwoods of California, and
that alone is a pretty sad chapter.
Come to think of it, the Redwoods do grow rather old don't they? A
couple of thousand years for re-naturalisation is
The Indians, (Native Americans to the PC crowd), practiced slash and

Yes, but they did it to thousands of acres not millions. Furthermore part of
the natural cycle of forests is to periodically burn off sections which starts
a new cycle: grass, deciderous, softwood, the cycle is about a thousand years
long in the type of forest that was in northeastern North
Not the size of the forests but how much virgin forest there was. Burn
the forest, plant corn and squash around the big trees that are still
standing, clear the land one or two more years, move to new location and
repeat. You run out of Virgin forest mighty fast that way.
