Most part of the Sicily has no forest. You find some forest on Etna and on the north side of Etna. But most of the land is bare land with some vegetation with low trees and bushes. Sicily has not always had this landscape. A long time ago Sicily was filled with forests, but all trees was cut down as conquerors always used the fertile island for agricultural produce lika Saffron, Wheat, Wine and much more. Then also for sulfur. Sicily has many sulfur mines, but those a closed today.
