"Twolegs put these trees here, [...] They cut them down with foul-smelling creatures, which spew enough fumes to make a kit go blind. Then they take the fallen trees to the Treecut place that lies near here."
Tigerclaw about Tallpines in Into the Wild, page 57

Tallpines and the Treecut place are a pine tree sawmill located in the southern reaches of ThunderClan's territory in the old forest.[2]

Description[]

Tallpines is located on the boundary line of Twolegplace in ThunderClan's forest territory.[2] It is a controlled forest, grown for the purpose of milling for Twolegs. Located within the pines is Treecut place, where Twolegs operate the tree-eater monster, of which the growls can be heard around the surrounding area.[1] When the monster leaves tracks, the earth is upturned. It is noted when the tracks fill with rainwater, the scent of the Treecut monster lingers.[3] The pine trees in the area are planted on flat ground and in straight lines.[3] The area lacks undergrowth to hide in.[4] This makes it hard for cats to hide, but, makes for easier hunting as prey cannot hide either.[3] In greenleaf, Treecut place becomes busy with Twoleg activity when they begin felling trees for their own uses.[4]

Location history[]

Following a forest fire, both Tallpines and the surrounding are heavily damaged Treecut place is said to be worst as it was the source of the fire. The area was reduced to gray ash and dotted tree stumps. Any remaining pine stumps are said to be reduced to tapered stumps, and the area is unable to be used for hunting due to the lack of surviving prey.[5] As a result of the damage, Twolegs bring a pack of dogs to the area to guard it, however, the dogs escape and go on to cause trouble in ThunderClan territory.[6]

History[]

In The Prophecies Begin arc[]

Into the Wild[]

Lionheart and Tigerclaw take Firepaw and Graypaw on a tour of the territories and pass Tallpines and the Treecut place. Tigerclaw explains to the young apprentices that Twolegs put their own trees there and that during greenleaf they cut them down with a loud monster.[7] Firepaw is later sent to hunt near Tallpines for an assessment and while there manages to catch a mouse.[8]

Fire and Ice[]

While on his way to a Gathering, Fireheart is reminded of his first tour of ThunderClan's territory and recalls Tallpines as a part of it.[9] He later takes Cinderpaw past the area while on her own tour of the territory. While out, the pair of cats encounter a tabby kittypet, who Fireheart scares off before Cinderpaw can chase the she-cat. The pair soon leave, passing by Treecut place as well, Fireheart noting that it will remain silent until next greenleaf.[10]
Tigerclaw ask Fireheart to send Cinderpaw and Brackenpaw on a hunting mission to Tallpines, and to assess them while they do. Firheart argues against the deputy that Sunningrocks would be easier for them to test their skills, but Tigerclaw states that RiverClan has been scented in the area thus making Tallpines safer for the young cats. After setting off, Fireheart tracks the two apprentices while they hunt through Tallpines, feeling proud of their progress while they hunt.[11] Yellowfang sends Fireheart to fetch catnip for her, and he passes through Tallpines to reach Twolegplace.[12][13] Whitestorm sends Sandpaw and Fireheart to patrol, the two cats agreeing to start at Fourtrees and make their way to Tallpines.[14] On a later patrol, Mousefur leads Sandpaw and Fireheart back through Tallpines before sending the latter to hunt alone with the agreement to meet back at camp at sunhigh.[15]

Bluestar's Prophecy[]

When Featherwhisker, Bluefur, and Snowfur go to an abandoned Twoleg nest to collect catmint, they have to pass through Tallpines, and Bluefur notes that the scent of Twolegplace drifts through it. Later, she and Thistleclaw go hunting near Tallpines, as all the other forest in the territory is brittle and flattened by rain. The bare forest around Tallpines seems like a good spot to hunt for prey, but the two don't catch much. Suddenly, Thistleclaw thinks he scents a kittypet, and he jumps onto a Twoleg fence, staring through the Twoleg nests.
Goldenflower leads a patrol among Tallpines that consists of Bluefur, Thrushpelt, and Patchpelt. She orders them to split into pairs: she and Patchpelt will check near the Treecut place, and Bluefur and Thrushpelt can check the Twoleg border.

Firestar's Quest[]

But to his and his patrol's luck, they find no remnants near Tallpines.

Goosefeather's Curse[]

When Swiftpaw is missing, Doestar orders Pineheart to take a patrol to the Treecutplace and the border along Twolegplace after he reports that they'd already searched Snakerocks and the Thunderpath boundary.

Later, Goosefeather has a vision about a harsh leafbare. He, Cloudberry, Doestar and Pineheart all discuss what they could do to try and survive the threat.
