Here are two views of Waltham Park Woods from last December. One shows the dense area of Birch looking very attractive in the pale winter light and the other shows the clearance of a large area of dense conifer plantation. It will be interesting to see what happens in the cleared area this year. The conifer plantation was very dense, with no understory (apart from fungi). It had clearly been ready for harvesting for some time, but it came as a surprise to find that it had just been cut and the aftermath was being burned off. It had been such a feature of an occasional winter walk that we felt rather disorientated to find that it had disappeared.
