There is Trees for Life in Scotland:

Edit: Most of the Scottish Highlands are a particularly bizarre landscape that people generally think of as natural but is really rather artificial as deer, lacking natural predators and being popular for hunting, tend to eat young trees.

Bit like Dartmoor - looks spectacularly wild and romantic, but used to be forested until Bronze Age farmers cleared it for agriculture and the soil turned acidic.
The Lakes and the Peaks are in the same boat too, probably the other national parks.
It would be fantastic if it could be re-planted with trees.
