Summary

Description
English: The burn scar is still evident, though faded to a pale tan. New pine trees have taken root, and the forest has started to return. The newly growing trees grow more quickly than older, mature forests. As a result, they are lighter in colour in this image. Fingers of new forest are most evident intruding into the narrow strip of burned land on the right edge of the image. Forests are likely returning elsewhere as well, but the small trees do not produce a dense enough canopy to show up well in the image.
