This morning, long before we could see the smoke or caught a glimpse of the fire through the stands, we caught the scent of wood smoke carried on the wind. They're clearing and landscaping pockets of Frame Heath Enclosure, it looks like they're restoring the landscape to open wet heathland, as it would've been nearly 200 years ago pre forestry activities. When established these heathland pockets added to the deciduous and coniferous mosaic create wonderful niche environments for flora and fauna to flourish; they also enrich your woodland walking experience offering you opportunities to spot wildlife you may have otherwise missed; the smaller pockets have an air of magical grove to them too...which is nice.
