The Oak Groves on the Celian Hill are a vast expanse of nature harnessed for the city's needs, which stretch across the slope of the hill in disciplined rows, their ancient trunks standing tall and resolute. The air here is thick with the earthy scent of wood and foliage, as the wind whispers through the leaves in a steady rhythm. These groves are used for many of the city's timber needs, so they are always bustling with activity as workers move with practised efficiency among the oaks, pruning branches and felling trees with precision.
