Wood chipping path

In the park with the daffodils, I came across this:

It's the usual path down through the park, except it's covered in wood chippings. The park has undergone a thinning of its undergrowth and some of the trees have been cut down to uncrowd other trees; evidently, those trees were then placed in a woodchipper and the chippings spread out over the path. It's a good use of the chippings, as this part of the path is barely more than a mud slide and the chippings provide effective grip for any walker.
