It has been 100 years since WWI. The forest of Verdun in France has been closed off to maintain the landscape as a trip to the past. The battle that occurred cleared everything out. There are still shells and plenty of remnants of the war there. Some groups of students go out and dig up large shells. Surprisingly it is not the shells or bombs that have made the area dangerous but the uses after WWI. Companies used the site for chemical testing which has left the land very toxic. Now 100 years after WWI and people cannot go in the forest anymore. The battlefield will be untouched and poisoned for many years to come.
