This forest is home to a unique and endangered species of tree, the St. Helena gumwood, which is found nowhere else on Earth. The forest is a misty and mystical place, with towering gumwood trees, their trunks thick and gnarled, their canopies a vibrant green. The air is cool and damp, filled with the scent of eucalyptus and the sound of birdsong. The forest floor is carpeted with a thick layer of leaves and ferns, and the trees are adorned with epiphytes, adding to the sense of enchantment.
