Fraid I don't have any answers, just questions really!
Is it private or public land?
Is the planting very regular like managed woodland of more haphazard?
Perhaps you could take another walk along that way and take a few shots (if you have a digital camera) and put them on here to show just how much planting has gone on and what kind of trees have been planted...I'm not exactly sure of the view that way so would be useful to see that too!
