The quantities of timber that have been extracted from the forest this year is staggering. Forestry tracks lined with stack after stack of cut and graded timber. The face of the harvested parts of the forest has been transformed, with all the coniferous wood removed, leaving only the occasional isolated deciduous clumps and individual trees, it's difficult to orientate yourself. The purpose? Beyond the harvest, which will be very lucrative in itself, is to restore the forest to its' more open nature by reintroducing pockets of heathland and open woodland grazing.
