In 2002, a “hotspot” of massive spruce dieback appeared in these areas, and a hurricane felled the surviving trees. The disaster created a natural training ground.

Now, everyone can compare the differences between man-made and natural reforestation, appreciate the mosaic nature and high quality of natural resources, which clearly progresses more rapidly near the remaining forest area around the «hotspot.»
