Where Your Roof Comes From

The other day when I was in the Forest of Loches I came across this parcel where the oak trees were clearly being managed for big building beams and roof trusses, and maybe big wooden boats. These mature trees are being managed to grow tall and straight. On the ground is one which has been felled although I don't know where it is off too. These are the types of trees that were supplied by the Forest earlier in the year for the repairs to Notre-Dame de Paris.
