The road through Puddletown Forest used to be lined with rhododendron ponticum and in spring the mauve flowers drew lots of people to see them, including my family when I lived in Dorchester many years ago.
During 2009 and 2010 a wide swathe either side of the road on the right in this image was cleared to stop this non-native invasive plant spreading into the pine monoculture of this planted commercial forest, although many local people were upset at the wholesale removal.

There was also a desire to increase the safety of forest users and I understand that a small but useful reduction in anti-social activities has taken place.
