We found smoke filled stands when we arrived in the forest this morning. Forestry work never stops, you'd be surprised how much effort it takes to keep the forest looking postcard proper. The reality of the forest is that much of it is far from natural. I'm not sure what's going on here, although I think they're returning the land here to heathland...they don't usually go to such great lengths clearing and grading the land surface when preparing to replant. I could be wrong, time'll tell. Those fires will smoulder and smoke for days, today their wood-smoke smell would stay in my nostrils throughout our walk.
