There is a poster in Arcadia showing large conifer trees planted for recreation as part of the landscape (parkland)

Broadleaved hardwood trees are slow growing and not really suitable for paper pulp.

I agree that fast growing softwood conifers would be required for paper pulp production. Rags can be used to produce paper, but a large amount of recycled clothing etc.would be needed.

Perhaps farming leafy bio-waste could have been used to make paper etc.
