transformation

a bird describes its forest

the bird lives in a small conifer plantation that is being transformed to a mixed species, permanent forest

Foresters following close-to-nature continuous cover forestry management methods have created light gaps and the new tiny forest of mixed species is beginning to grow amongst the shelter of the conifers - monoculture tree plantations can be transformed to vibrant healthy, resilient and productive non clear-fell forests if we follow nature's own dynamics.
