Recent cutting in this forest
The map shows where the trees were cleared in each year since 2011, coloured by age: yellow for the last three years, orange for four to seven, brown for older. In a plantation that age decides what you walk into: open slash and new seedlings, then thick regrowth, then a closing canopy.
Open the map and zoom into the forest → What the colours mean
Satellite-detected tree loss, so slips, storms and fire show up too. It says nothing about where this permit lets you go: the permit and the forest’s own map decide that, and an active harvest is closed.
