Estonian forests are not that old as you would guess.
The main land use changes in Estonia during the 20th century have been the
decrease in agricultural land from 65% in 1918 to 30% in 1994 and the
increase in forests from 21% to 43%, respectively.
- vintagedave 2y agoTrue. That's still thirty years, fifty years, eighty years, up to a century... Estonia is very fortunate to have had such forest density, and it's rare among European countries. It is not something -- IMO -- to be casual about decreasing. It takes a long time to regrow that: decades!
