Agriculture & Industry
The Deepoak forest provides New Sedona with oak timber that is recognized as some of the strongest in the world. While known for its oak, the most common trees include magnolias and dogwoods that provide plenty of nectar to support a large bee population. Consequently, honey is a plentiful product of the Deepoak. Also, deep in the Deepoak, where the trees are dense and little direct sunlight makes it to the forest floor, huge Canopy Mushrooms grow naturally. There are several communities deep in the forest that cultivate these mushrooms and produce leather.
