Arbas' Forst Returns To A Pristine State
An old beech tree has lost one of its two main branchs. The forest in Arbas (Haute-Garonne) in the French Pyrenees is a mixed forest : some parts are slowly returning to a something alike a pristine forest, other parts are exploited. A forest returning to a primary state is full of dead wood (from twigs to uprooted trees) with natural clearings due to fallen trees. Samplings usually grow in these clearings. Parts of the Arbas' forest still bear traces of human occupation during centuries such as stoned trails, terraces, marks of colliers, etc. Toulouse. Arbas. France. October 15th 2021.
