SY7492 : Rhododendron Clearance, Puddletown Forest

taken 17 years ago, near to Higher Bockhampton, Dorset, England

Rhododendron Clearance, Puddletown Forest
Rhododendron Clearance, Puddletown Forest
A wide swathe of ground has recently been cleared of scrub and rhododendrons by the Forestry Commission between the forest on the left and the adjacent road on the right. The stretch of road known as Rhododendron Mile is just behind the bushes on the right and a 20m strip of the flowering bushes has been left along the road to maintain this tourist attraction. This clearance will prevent the spread of the rhododendrons into the forest where it would choke the ground cover.
