Berry Tree, Trees of Cyprus Thematic Issue, Republic of Cyprus
Alternative Title:
Description:
Trees of Cyprus are part of the natural heritage of the island. Two thousand years ago Eratosthenes (c.276194 B.C.), Greek astronomer and scholar had said that the fields of Cypruswere so densely covered with trees that the land could not be cultivated. Even though trees were cut down for shipbuilding and the continuous smelting of minerals (copper being one such metal), no human device could exhaust the wood. It was therefore decided by the Council that every man would be allowed to own whatever land he could bring into cultivation by cutting down the trees. Fertile fields were thus created but times have since changed and conservation and re-forestation are orders of the day.
