The Ember Stand
Burnt black and still standing. Something came through here and the trunks were too wet to go with it.
The Ember Stand is a walkable stand of 66 ashpillar trees in The Ashlands, 184 m along its long axis, with the lowest crown 18.0 m overhead.

The trees
Rounded crowns, stacked, closing overhead into a roof rather than a ceiling.
66 trunks stand on a triangular lattice 13.0 m apart, each jittered up to 1.8 m off its cell so no two rows line up. Trunks run 22 m to 28 m, and the lowest 82% of one is bare — which is the whole reason you can see down a lane here instead of standing in a bush. The first crown starts 18.0 m above your head.
The narrowest passage this species can produce between two trunk colliders is 7.0 m, which is the floor for the entire stand: everything else in it is further apart than that.
Walking it
The footprint is 184 m by 124 m, turned on its own axis so it follows the land rather than the compass. A lane 6.4 m wide is kept clear along the long axis and a glade 11 m across sits at the heart of it — the two places in a closed forest where you can see the sky.
219 solid pieces in total: trunks, and the fallen logs you can stand on. Ground litter, light shafts and drifts are drawn but carry no collider.
