There is but one establishment in thispark area, it is called the forest café, it is
mainly busy during the summer and is a
part of the biosphere since it is made
from wood but also metal so also

This is a gravel path which is a partof the lithosphere, this is a good
path because of the gravel, it means
that it is not muddy and slippery
during spring and autumn.

The silver birch tree is the most numerous tree inthe forest and the oldest too, it is native to all
areas and is a part of the taiga biome, this tree
takes the longest to grow out of all the others and
is very hardy, in autumn its leaves turn yellow, a
fully grown tree has the height of around 25m
and a width of roughly 50cm. These trees areconstatly faling over and regrowing. We marked
a metre on the tree.

Scots pine is the up and coming most
numerous tree to the forest, there are a
few plantations that have 40 yr old trees
but the natural ones are 100+ yrs old and
look much different to these plantationones. Scots pine is a very dry pin with a
thin canopy, it has a large squirrel
population and undergrowth finds it hard
to survive in the acidic soil. Scots pine is
definitely a dominator, fully grown,
natural pines reach a height of around 15
m and a width of 90cm.
Note: these pics are of plantation pine not
natural.

Poplar is one of the more rare trees in the
park, in the natural forest next to the park
there is a lot but here in the park it doesn’t
grow so well in competition with silver birch. The poplat in the forest is very
different to that of Australian driveway
ones, this is more of a hardy sort, it looks
like a grey birch from below but is poplar.
When poplar are young they look stringy
and bent but straighten out. This particular
poplar was too big and in the brush to get agoo photo of. A fully grown poplar can
reach heights of 50 m and widths of
120cm

The crab apple tree is a rare tree and is
quite shrubby, it is common to see them
with broken branches and trampled on.Most have small fruits that taste starchy
and sweet and sour. This tree though is
important for grafting as its root system
is well adapted for the cold climate
even though its fruit is only good for
birds.

this is not natural, I know this because I have seen virgin taiga right n
the park, the virgin taiga has much larger trees, more pines, more po

got many ferns and is mainly Silverbirch. The modified forests and
are riddled with paths and this is an obvious forest modification

The first issue is common
throughout the whole park, it is
muddy boggy tracks. This
problem causes the landscape to
change in shape, because of the
muddy tracks people walk off the
track trampling on shrubs and
sapplings causing forest regrowth
to slow. At the moment nobody is
addressing this problem, some
parts of the forest have bitumen
paths and others gravel but for the
most part they are just mud. On
M. Figure 2 you can see the main
path and carpark where the major
problems are.
