'Eyesore' Trees?

The Welsh government want to plant 86 million trees by the end of the decade to help counter climate change. The Snowdonia Society claim this could endanger some of Wales' most scenic landscapes (https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-61039303.amp). The Snowdonia Society argue that 'uncontrolled' planting could badly affect communities, wildlife and landscapes. A society with this focus is, however, bound to enthuse about 'wild' open, relatively-treeless locations. These locations do need to have their vegetation managed, if they are not to undergo transition. Monocultures of the wrong types of tree, would be neither attractive (it would be forestry) nor especially beneficial. One has to remember, however, that many of Wales' most scenic landscapes are hardly 'natural' (as is the case in much of England). Britain was once almost entirely covered by forest. Humans, ably assisted by sheep (and there are more sheep, than people in Wales), largely created and currently maintain any relatively treeless areas we have. This transition also had, at that time, impacts on communities and wildlife. Greatly boosting tree planting in Wales should certainly not be uncontrolled. It would be unfortunate, however, if campaigning resulted in local people becoming tree averse. Planting trees will certainly not 'solve' the problem of climate change (we have to cut down human emissions) but it surely could help.
