树木之美 Beauty comes in trees

穆涅略斯自然保护区，西班牙

穆涅略斯自然保护区有西班牙保护最好的栎树森林之一。栎树也被称作普通橡树、欧洲橡木或英国橡树。除橡树外，这片面积13560英亩的保护区内还有无梗花栎。

20世纪70年代起，穆涅略斯自然保护区便禁止伐木和打猎。如今，这里被联合国教科文组织列为生物圈保护区，进入其中的人数都被严格控制。保护区内设有游客中心，大多数游客最远也就能被允许走到这里。因此今天的这张照片，可以说非常珍贵。

Muniellos Nature Reserve

The Muniellos Nature Reserve is one of Spain's best-preserved forests of Quercus robur, otherwise known as common oak, European oak, or English oak. The 13,560-acre reserve in Asturias province also includes sessile oaks, seen in our photo alongside beech trees.

In the 1970s logging was banned in the reserve. Soon after, hunting was also banned. Today, even human access to this UNESCO-designated biosphere is carefully controlled. There's a visitor center, and that's about as far as most tourists are allowed. We're just glad we have photos of this incredible forest.
