Burwood Forest is a large mixed evergreen and deciduous forest stretching across parts of Moorland and Ostland in northeast Keltia. The forest has some of the most sizable concentrations of old growth forest in the area and was standing when the first settlers from Nova England arrived in the area and named it Burwood. The forest covers a large area of over nine-thousand square miles stretching from just north of Fort Hunter and north to the outskirts of Copthorne and St Joseph's. Although initially avoided by developers for its rough terrain, encroachment by industrialization was eventually halted by Nova England and the forests were preserved. Some areas were set aside for sustainable timber harvesting while others were dedicated as permanently protected parks with many hiking trails, campgrounds and other public amenities. Drought conditions in 1727 and the carelessness of campers were said to blame for the Burwood Wildfires that now threaten much of the forest. The fires were extinguished by late 1728, but the loss of forest was estimated to be around 10,000 acres. Conservation efforts are underway to replant the forests and provide safeguards against future fires, such as building firebreaks and conducting regular controlled burns.
