Many forest lands were destroyed throughout history for various reasons. In the Middle Ages to produce charcoal trees were cut down and put into a pile. Dirt was pack around the trees and a fire started. The person doing this would have to watch this burn for 2-3 days and manage the fire, but the end result was charcoal. I haven't read that farmers did take the bark off trees, but it would have been done to kill them so they could claim the land for crops.
