SO... you think that the country of England had no woodland management?

The leaders of the day decided, that the protected lands would no longer receive protection, there was no populace vote.

You think post-apocalypse would be different from a monarchy /how/ exactly?

The strong rule, and without rule of the masses and enforcers of law, we're back to warlords and kings. Good luck with your processes...
