Review:

Our area started off with more of an open canopy, full of light, and closer to about 30 feet in, it became mostly a closed canopy with little light. The trees were connected through the mychorrhizae. Quite a few nurse logs covered in green moss. Most of the trees appear to be young because of their small bases ranging anywhere from ½ foot Cir. to 7.5 feet Cir., with the majority at 1 foot in circumference.
