There is a pine forest near Gryfino in the Northwest Poland. Where there are 400 weird curved pine trees. The weird part is that all these pine trees are surrounding a small area where there are then are all straight trees they way they are suppose to be. The theory for this is that the trees are shaped this way because of human intervention, with the saplings allowed to grow for around 10 years and then is pinned down in a way that they come up with a 90 degrees bend before coming straight out. Some of the locals believe it was handiwork be special carpenters from the German forces in 1930’s, in use for boats and furniture. But the trees were never harvested because World War 2 broke out in 1939. But then the Gryfino forest lumberjacks disagree because the pine trees are not good for furniture or boats. They think that the trees just grew naturally. These are some of the reasons why people think this has happened.
First I went to DOGO news and I saw that the new current events was about these trees. And I was interested because I have seen trees bend in other ways but never this way so I decide to write about that. And I think that the first theory is true because first it has the best reason of why it is and I just think it is compared to the other theory's. But I thought learning about this and finding out about this was very cool and interesting.
