The 500 ha nature reserve is a relatively young reserve, the area was fully owned by a large number of private owners until the mid-1970s.
The largest part of the Walenbos is managed by the Agency for Nature and Forests.
The forest is home to the largest alder swamp forest in Flanders.
The name of the forest is said to refer to the swampy, wet subsoil of the area.
