This is as much about outsourcing as the actual decline of the mighty oak. If the British empire couldn't have source d ship building timber elsewhere then they would have put more effort into planting Oak forests. An age old story that continues today.

Like something out of Waterford Whispers. But I have seen what they can do to utility poles here in Co. Clare.
Irish times reported Pole-wrecker woodpeckers blamed for power outages as crews repair damaged electricity infrastructure The species, new to Irish woodland in recent decades, causing big headaches for ESB in Leinster, Kerry and Mayo Rising numbers of woodpeckers, new to this country over the past 20 years, are proving a big headache and an increasing cost for the State’s electricity network operator. Relentless pecking at ESB poles by the great spotted woodpecker – becoming increasingly spotted in the country, across Leinster and as far afield as Kerry and Mayo – has emerged as a problem in parts of the ESB network, particularly in the southeast. Woodpecker-damaged electricity poles have even led to power outages as ESB crews work to repair the damage caused by the “drumming” by the hard-beaked bird. ESB Networks confirmed that “performance issues” can occur in parts of the network from time to time as a result of birdlife damage to electricity poles.

Why can we not have the same policy here in Ireland @MHealyRae ?? ENFORCEMENT action will not be taken for failure to obtain a felling licence for woodland management activities as a direct result of Storm Darragh in Wales.

A lot of potential forestry land can't be planted now because of breeding wader designation Yet this report states sheep are as big a problem.

Hopefully, the recent #StormÉowyn will end efforts to ban wood-burning stoves in new-build countryside homes.

Whatever about our electric infrastructure. What about all those who were not allowed to install a chimney for a wood stove in their new house build out in the country side . With no heat now because their Heat pump doesnt work without electricity.
This kind of thing should be making us ask big questions about the quality of our national infrastructure.

Not every day u see a brand new €550,000+ Timber harvester fresh out of the showroom . This is the level of investment most owners operators have to invest in order to be able to keep up with the times and the work 55 + hours per week to keep it all paid for. #Komatsu 931xc

Large-scale wooden building projects are growing in popularity globally. Two years ago, Singapore opened a 468,000 square-foot wooden college campus building. Seattle opened a landmark eight-storey affordable housing block, also in 2023.
