I've watched with interest as this part of Wilverley has changed. Initially the Sweet Chestnuts were removed, leaving the woodland open and exposed, soon after the Sweet Chestnut stumps sent up multiple rods and a blanketing coppice developed obscuring the woodland, now, some years on, the rods have reached for the skies, growing up tall and revealed the woodland once more. The forest is always changing. Most interesting though, isn't here where the hand of man has agency in change, but where man has withdrawn from 'managing' the landscape and nature is allowed to chart her own course. Still, interesting to watch cycles in motion.
