    A rough visual representation of what ~2500 hectares looks like:

    Obviously that’s not where it’ll be, but it gives a sense of scale, as I had absoutetly no idea what 2500 hectares looks like.

      I’m no mathematician, so I passed this request through an AI, and we know how accurate they can be…anyway:

      It estimates that we’d need 3.23 billion bananas 🍌 to fill 2500 hectares of space if anyone wants a bananas for scale.

      The Newer Forest.

      Always makes me laugh that the ‘New’ Forest is getting on for a thousand years old.
