Remove sheep, irish hills, and mountains would have a far better effect.
Just block off large portions of land and let nature grow itself natural forests over 20 years.

Well done. Slowly but surely hopefully we get there. I planted 3500 native trees through this initiative 10 years ago. The forest has already brought so much mature compared to dead grazing land.
The method requires dense planting in a small area which forces trees to compete with each other. For example: say you plant 50 tree seedlings in 10m2, not all of the 50 seedlings will grow to maturity and most will die off.
Personally, I feel it’s better to plant those 50 tree seedlings with a better spacing to allow more of them to grow.

Nobody cares. There are enough trees in the country already.

The Miyawaki method of planting is controversial, it has it’s [pros and cons](https://rewilding.academy/ecosystem-restoration/pros-and-cons-of-the-miyawaki-concept-and-tiny-forests/) but at least they are doing something to address the disgraceful amount of tree planting in Ireland.
