The Grey Hall
The wind has combed every one of these the same way. Bright, thin, and loud when it blows.
The Grey Hall is a walkable stand of 104 greylarch trees in The Highlands, 200 m along its long axis, with the lowest crown 14.0 m overhead.

The trees
Conical crowns on long bare trunks — the silhouette of a forest you can see through.
104 trunks stand on a triangular lattice 12.5 m apart, each jittered up to 1.7 m off its cell so no two rows line up. Trunks run 20 m to 25 m, and the lowest 70% 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 14.0 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 200 m by 144 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.
411 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.
