My Woods From Space

 A View of the Woods I have Planted from Google-Earth

 Google Earth is a marvellous tool.  I strongly suggest to anyone to download it.  After all, it is free and you can go anywhere on Earth, Mars, The Moon or in all known space.

On the above picture, you can see the circular sprawling complex of Dartmoor Prison, with a couple of farm tracts coming out from it.  You can also see a river, running Southwards, to the left of the prison.  Towards the South of the picture, going left; you can hopefully make out a small tributary, coming from the village of Princetown and joining the river.

There are two main areas, where I have planted trees on these maps.  On the picture to the right; you can make out a snakey little river and patches of trees, plonked randomly on rough ground, between a complex of leats and walls.  The thin strip of land along the river is surrounded by grazed fields.  Here I have completely planted the area in all of the gaps between the existing trees and have spilt out onto the top right area on the other side of the main road.

The other area of tree planting has mainly occurred on that little tributary coming from the village.  The top part of which is captured very well, from this satellite image below.

A mostly boggy area, squished between field boundaries, with a few footpaths, all following a different route to the same place.

The rough ground goes all the way into the village and backs on to the school and the village hall (right), so have planted all these bits as well.  Even where it backs onto the houses.

It is hard to describe the extent of the project, by just showing photographs.  I think these Google-Earth images really show clearly the extent of what I have done here, and accurately pinpoints the location.

The above picture is of the upper part of my woods along the Black brook valley, just a little bit more zoomed in.  You can see the dried out weir and even some of my little trees; beginning to become visible from space.  How cool is that?

To the right is an Ariel picture of Princetown. and a wider area map below.  It should be easy to find and is a great place to visit, especially in April, when the Wild Daffodils (which I also planted) all come out, throughout these woods and in large clumps throughout suitable sites in the whole area.
