Flecks of sunlight gleam through the thick foliage overhead, dappling the dark soil of the winding path. Many of the nearby trees appear to have been stripped of small shoots and branches, and the berry bushes closest to the open path have been stripped of fruit. A shady trail leads through the underbrush.
