Carlton Forests

The Carlton Forests (Oceana language: Carltonlessies) form a large area within the Lovian state of Oceana that is covered with a vast pine forest. They constitute a large part of the Northern Wine Region and lie on the southern part of the Curland Massive. To the north and east, the forests are bordered by the Cur Stream, to the south by the Southern Central Hills (on which the Southern Wine Region is located), and to the west by That Yin river. In terms of vegetation, animal life, and soil composition, the Carlton Forests are very similar to the Birds Forests and many other Oceana forests, although the Carlton Forests are dryer, with fewer streams. The foilage cover of the Carlton Forests is also less dense than most other Oceana forests, enabling more plant life in the herb layer. This gives rise to more shrubs and grasses.

The Carlton Forests are one of the most visited forests in Oceana and are a popular hiking place. During the tourist season, the forests can be reached by public transportation on the Carlton-Curland bus stop.

The only hamlet that lies in the Carlton Forests is Heighnow.
