The Keypoints, the generating point of the keylines in a landscape are generally quite noticeable because of the type of 'energy'they emanate. Even within the forest you'll find them, and usually with a different type of vegetation growing there or at least a concentration of a certain specie of plant 'common'in the region. It's very much a training in sensitivity, as these points and lines are dynamic in many ways. Depending on the region and the type of biodiversity present, these lines  can be picked out by careful observation over time......they're there. Looking with the intention of finding them is your key!

The key points where you can make ponds or dams are various within the landscape, and in 'keyline' they are usually interconnected as no doubt you read. The higher up you start the better, but do be careful with machines in the forest; see what you can do by hand....forest working bees!
