Team Avatar briefly visited this forest late in the autumn of 99 AG. They were flying high above the woods on Appa until they landed in the forest, their curiosities aroused by the scorched land. Upon seeing the devastation, Aang became depressed, claiming the destroyed forest was a symbol of his own failure in protecting the world from harm. However, Katara managed to cheer him up by saying the forest was not completely destroyed, and that the damaged portions would one day grow back, as acorns, which would one day cause the forest to grow back, were scattered across the ground.
