Re: Irish Trees
http://www.enfo.ie/leaflets/fs15.htm
Ireland has fewer trees than any other country in Europe. Our forest cover
is approximately 6% of the land area compared with over 20% for the rest of
Europe. State forests exceed 400,000 hectare (1m acres) and are of
increasing importance to the economy. 60% of our domestic timber needs are
currently supplied from Irish forests.

A fundamentally existential question...
I'm heading to Ireland next year, and usually 'stealth camp' with a
Hennessy Hammock.
A friend's just told me that Ireland has hardly any trees. Is she
pulling my leg? Will I find places to put the hammock up?
Thanks.
