Abstract:		 Despite the protests of Elizabeth's foresters, human activity over a short time decisively altered the ecological system in St Leonards Forest: the indiscriminate felling of saleable timber together with the direct and indirect effects of iron mining and smelting in the 16th century virtually eliminated oak and beech and these did not reappear as the forest regenerated. This in tum had a disruptive impact on the deer population which dwindled and disappeared, leaving the area by the 19th century more or less sterile. This sequence of events appears to be merely a particular illustration of a more general trend in the forests of 16th-century England.
