Excursion: forest area West toward a climate-resilient and biodiverse forest
On Sunday, November 16, 2025 from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m., we are organizing an excursion in forest area West together with Bosgroep Zuid Nederland. The excursion starts at parking lot Dutmella.
Work
We started work in this area this month to improve forest quality and biodiversity. During the walk we will explain what work we will be doing and show why and where we will do it. The work will last until December 2027 and will be in stages and mainly during the winter months. It concerns the part of the forest south of the N620 and east of the Hoberglaan.
Forest Development
The forest suffers from acidification and desiccation. As a result, trees and plants do not grow as well. To keep the forest strong and healthy, forest development is needed. Development includes: restoring water balance, developing natural forest and planting climate-resistant tree species. For this we have received a Common Agricultural Policy (CAP ) grant. With this forest revitalization, we are taking an important step towards a resilient, climate-resistant and biodiverse forest.
