Approximately 500 miles of trenches were dug and shelled during the last four years of fighting. 1914 had been a war of manuever; it stalemated in about 1915. The "Land" was not destroyed; just temporarily dug up. Today, lands which have not been preserved as "memorials", have returned to their natural forest state, or have been farmed. The preserved "memorials" have been re-vegetated with natural growth, and if the Doughboys of WWI were to see their old trenches now, they would not recognize them. They look like "jagged" golf courses, full of green grass. The same holds true with formerly N & S Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia: the THOUSANDS of bomb craters have turned into ponds. With grass, flowers, and trees growing around the ponds, to the untrained observer, they look like natural little lakes. Unless it's of a volcanic nature, in almost ALL cases, the land will heal itself.
