Rhinefield Sandy's enclosure has been fenced off for years now (some forestry project or other), high deer proof fencing making it an isolated island immune to deer or pony assault. You can see the difference too, it must be 20 years now, and the under-story is thick and impenetrable in places. With no public access either, no humans has also meant that, but for the main forestry track, the paths have all but been reclaimed by the forest. This used to be favoured walking of ours, and it was on this path that our eldest said his first word 'tree'. Over the intervening years I've scaled the fencing on several occasions and explored the undisturbed stands, watching the changes and wondering when the fences will come down and access restored.
