Many of the forest stands are marked for change, the 'orange spot' identifying a tree for felling, and there's a hell of a lot of spotted trunks about; all over the forest too. It's the conifers which are going, the cash crop, money trees; some whole blocks are to be clear cut, others to be thinned as well as any coniferous invaders removed from adjacent deciduous blocks. I don't know what the forestry have got planned for the clear cut blocks, replanting or restoration to open heath maybe; the deciduous blocks though, I'm looking forward to seeing them opened up.
