Making way in Markway

Markway has nearly all been cleared of it's coniferous plantation, the trees having come of age, have been harvested block at a time over the last few years, now few remain. I think the long term strategy is to return this area to heathland, whether that's now or after another conifer cycle, I don't know. It looks like Silver Birch have planted in some areas or maybe just staked their claim naturally, what that says, again, I don't know. Time will tell. Though for now the landscape is churned, cluttered with debris, and the trackways are lined with piles of timber.  One change which is immediate are the views which have been opened up by the clearance.
