There are various different origins of any land that goes in to a building sites and I want to consider some of them in this article. The five different land usages that I want to consider our woodland or forestry, agricultural land, parkland, urban areas, and derelict industrial sites. During recent years, a lot more houses are being built within woodland areas and in Irish forestry it is not the decision of which trees are going to remain, but rather how many trees are going to be removed. Forestry in Ireland has several different tree species including, Scots Pine, Ash, and Larch. Since Sitka Spruce is the most common tree in Irish forestry, it is generally this type of forestry which is put up for development.
Urban areas are areas that have been built on for some years. These urban areas could be the gardens of large houses that have been demolished, disused allotments, areas which have been bought up in order to widen roads and have subsequently been made redundant. On some of these areas it is very unusual to find trees of any sort but at other areas, such as the gardens, you may well find that trees are growing.
Now we come to parkland and agricultural land. As a town starts to edge its way across the countryside, sometimes estate, country houses, manor houses and their gardens becoming engulfed. It is not unusual during these times to see specimen trees being caught up with the needs of bricks and mortar. Other areas of trees that will come under pressure from the building are the shelter belts, avenues, and groves. On agricultural land, most of the trees that you will find growing here will be part of hedge rows or small groups of trees that are established in near the farmhouse. Some of the specimen trees that grow here may be Oak, Sycamore, Beach, or maybe Ash. This is entirely depending on which part of the country that the trees are growing. Often the decision to keep or remove the trees will be depending on whether they are suitable for an urban environment or not.
