Among Thinning Trees NW N - (-------------------------------------------------) W <---(M)---> E SW S - A few sparse saplings have been spared by the ogres' rampage. Their bases are covered in inches of pine needles from felled trees, forming a kind of cyclical compost heap, the dead feeding the young. Although ogres love destruction and tearing things apart, they appreciate the value of life. Although short-sighted and dumb, they are not self-destructive towards their race. They spare young trees with the knowledge that eventually they will grow and spread their own seeds, and then those seeds can be spared as these saplings are destroyed.
