I was thinking the woods may have burnt during earlier fighting - napalm strike, nuclear thermal flash, a few incendiary rounds gone astray during a dry summer, etc.
The same could apply to all woods, fields, etc we can see on google maps/earth.
Some regrowth is likely of course, but I don't imagine it would be a whole lot in just a year or three. Plenty of burnt stumps and charred logs laying about to trip over though.
I love the flexibility and realism the various mapping programs and sites give us, but like most people, forget sometimes that what we can see today isn't likely to be what would be there in T2K.
