In the north the rounded, elevated ridges of the Forest of Bowland, separated by river valleys, have great scenic beauty.
In the east the Westerwald a mountainous region bordering the Weser River is characterized by several escarpments and by the narrow, elongated ridges of the Teutoburg Forest and some small mountains.
The rest is a monkey puzzle of lakes, bogs, eskers (winding, narrow ridges of sand), mountains and forest, filled with just about any creature of the north you'd care to meet.
One of Justice's idled operations – A&G's mine on Looney Ridge – has stripped 590 acres of forest in Wise County, Virginia.
In HPC-forest, tree species with a mostly submontane-colline distribution (Castanopsis sp., Syzygium spp., Cinnamomum spp., Canarium album, Cratoxylum pruniflorum, Illicium griffithii, Engelhardtia spicata, Melicope pteleifolia, Breynia fruticosa, Artocarpus styracifolius) were common along the higher-lying ridges of the hill (R-forest), and especially on the hill top (R1t).
Many species are isolated in restricted ranges by changes of climate or inhospitable territory, such as stretches of sea, mountain ridges, deserts, forest clearance, road construction, or other man-made barriers.
Despite its name, it is actually a vast series of battlefields across a landscape that is backstopped by the Appalachian Mountains to the west, and ripples eastward in a series of ridges, hillocks, forests and creeks, with expansive fields and meadows between them.
Because of the hot summer winds that rake across a ridge of mountains, the forest is also a major fire risk.
The terrain is moderate throughout the 265,000-acre state forest, with long ridges of even height.
From our stunning mountain ridges, thousands of acres of forests, abundant rivers and streams to the white sandy beaches--there's no doubt about it, the lands and waters of our state are a special natural gift.
