In the begining were the small people, our distant beaker folk, Iberian Bronze Age Ancestors whose breakble bronze tools were not up to much forest clearence and anyway a small population did not require intense agriculture. Anyway most of the great woods were in lowlands of swamps and wolves, woods were for hunting of Boars or otherwise perhaps better avoided and anyway then the uplands offered habitat and living as Cairns and Maenhir indicate, those not knocked away by early Forestry Commision clearences for the planting of non native spieces of trees. Then came the Celts with Iron Swords and tools well capable of chopping trees down for homes and forts and for a far more intense agarian culture that in turn encouraged populaton growth but stll great woodlands survived the Celts. However, the coming of the Anglo - Norman Conquistadores and we begin to witness trees fall at a faster pace first for 'Motte and Bailey' Forts that srung up as fast as the 'Windmilling of Wales' goes on today. These new Lords of the Conquest of Wales also in time cleared away woodlands to build towns and bridges, as well there was defensive needs. Woods had to be cleared well away from Settler Castle Towns so as the Welsh could not launch a suprise attack to close for compfort. Then Edward I as well later Henry V and VI found woods at to be cleared well away from their Invasion routes or otherwise from hidden safty of the woods, the Welsh Archers would be busy felling English Soldiers with arrow after arrow. All this came to pass but before I leave this period of Conquest and Resistance, I remind how the woods were the sanctury of the Rebel Patriot forced to become the Wild Wood outlaw as the 'Adar y Greim' of the 14th Century, 'Gwerin Owain' of the 15th Century and Banditti Cambria as the 'Gwylliad Gochion' of the 16th Century. The Tudors always on the make would take a fare share of Welsh Woods but let us remember too the Woodland Workers, Charcoal Burners and Glog makers also not least native ship builders around the entire coast of Wales but mch to our social, economic and cultural advantage, both woodland industries that lasted into the 19th century. The growth of British Empire and it's wars with need for ships sent Nelson to Wales to mark out good timber to cut down for his fleet, so whack! whack! and many of our Oak Forests go. Then the Industrial Revolution wood required again for the furnaces of the Iron Industry and later pit props for the Coal Industry and by now, not many forests left and so Welsh Coal Owners had to seek Pit Props from Norway. Hence, the Norwegian Churches in the Cardiff and Swansea Dockland and of course possibly Roald Dahl as consequence? However, today it's not a couple of Norwegian Churches are present in Wales but something we could do with out, that being the Nowegian Monopolist Unitities Corporation Renewables Robber Baron Statkraft - A Global Green Imperialist on the Frontline of Eco New Colonialism from Chile to Cymru and as often as not in league with the Welsh Assembly, Country Side Council of Wales and any number of individual and institutional collaborators as the so called Forestry Commission of Wales. Now read on and be worried enough to be angry and angry enough to get up and resist this forest robbery.
