Tree Clearance

Indeed, sad to see !!
Good that new trees will be planted.

Sad, but necessary Jaap. Thanks for dropping by.

Takes a while for a tree to grow. I hate to see them cut down, but know that it is sometimes necessary.

Thank you Eunice.

Yes, Keith!
Rejuvenation is necessary and useful for the forest

I agree Judite..........thanks for dropping by.

A lot of conifer are being felled up our way. But these look like deciduous trees. Birch in fact?
Nice capture.

Cheers. Thanks for sharing with our UK Landscape Photography Group , Herb

Yes mate, mainly birch I think. Glad you like the shot.

Yes. But they take time to grow. I also feel sadness. Luckily, Spain is the second country with the largest extension of forests after Sweden. It's not a bad thing. Yesterday I was in the Valsaín forest where Anthony Mann filmed the wars against the Germans in The Fall of the Roman Empire.

There is a lot of work going on in the UK to try and restored our forests. Millions of new trees have been planted over the past few years and a lot of non-native trees are being replaced by native varieties. It is of course a slow process and some of the people planting the trees will never live to see them reach maturity.........a proper act of faith.

I'd never heard of the film you mention (a bit before my time), but the Falsain forest seems to be very beautiful.

Thanks for dropping by Anton.

Néanmoins les coupes claires sont mauvaises ; une bonne gestion consiste à laisser quelques arbres adultes pour ne pas détruire la biodiversité brutalement

I believe they're doing their best to do just that in this particular area Dan. They seem pretty committed.

You have recorded it beautifully Keith. I remember seeing area such as this that are now looking good with healthy new trees.

Thank you Rosa. To be honest, I think this area was overdue some rejuvenation, it was an overgrown mess. I hope I live long enough to see it properly re-grown :-))

Liijkt op Brazilie Keith daar rooien ze ook massaal bomen
maar de foto ziet er heel apart ui t

Thanks for dropping in and commenting Fred.

In Deutschland mussten große Flächen gefällt werden, weil die Bäume durch den Borkenkäfer befallen waren. Mehr als die Hälfte davon ist minderwertiges Holz. Der wirtschaftliche Schaden geht in die Milliarden. Und die Bauwirtschaft sucht händeringend nach qualitativ brauchbarem Holz.

That's very sad Wilhelm..........I had no idea! I hope solutions are found quickly. Thanks for dropping by!

Da zeigst du wieder eine tolle Entdeckung lieber Keith,leider sieht man das immer öfters,das sehr viele Flächen Wald umgeforstet werden,das finde ich schon schlimm :))

Wünsche noch einen schönen Tagesausklang,liebe Grüße Güni :))
