The Ashdown Forest in Sussex, United Kingdom are the woods that inspired the setting for the famed book series 'Winnie-the-Pooh.'
A forest in the United Kingdom that inspired the Hundred Acre Wood in the Winnie-the-Pooh book series caught fire over the weekend. Six fire crews battled the blaze that scorched roughly 37 acres of Ashdown Forest in Sussex County, the Sussex Express reported.
Andrew Gausden, the incident commander, said calls about the Ashdown Forest fire began coming about 9:30 p.m. local time Sunday. Hannah Scott-Youlon, the assistant director of training and assurance for East Sussex Fire & Rescue Service, sent a tweet Sunday night with an aerial photo of the forest fire.
Chris Sutton, an Ashdown Ranger forest ranger, said any eggs and ground-nesting birds would have most likely been destroyed in the fire. But Sutton said he believes the greenery will grow back in the next six months to leave a less noticeable burn scar.
