We construct forests that span $\mathbb{Z}^d$, $d\geq2$, that are stationary and directed, and whose trees are infinite, but for which the subtrees attached to each vertex are as short as possible. For $d\geq3$, two independent copies of such forests, pointing in opposite directions, can be pruned so as to become disjoint. From this, we construct in $d\geq3$ a stationary, polynomially mixing and uniformly elliptic environment of nearest-neighbor transition probabilities on $\mathbb{Z}^d$, for which the corresponding random walk disobeys a certain zero--one law for directional transience.
