I am running an informal natural generation experiment in the field and wood I own here in mid-Wales. Last summer, the forestry along one boundary was harvested leaving that edge of my wood completely exposed to the West. This offers considerably more light to that area as well as the likelihood of more trees being blown down in any gales.

In his quarterly photographing of the field below the wood, friend Jon Dixon took some photos of this new open area so we can study what changes happen over time.
