A World Tree is a tree that can and may become ancient because it is protected by a community that has associated itself with the tree.

The Wereldboom Foundation develops activities around the world tree and its environment, which guarantee the survival of the tree and strengthen the sense of community. The growing place becomes a place for everyone in which the tree is central. In this way, the Wereldboom builds a bridge between people, generations and nature.

Gentbrugge had various castle domains that were gradually subdivided in the course of the 20th and 21st century. The various parks and old trees in Gentbrugge are often the last witnesses of this rich past.

The forest in which you are now, together with the Stille Reus, belonged, together with the Meersemhof district and the residence on Braemkasteelstraat, to the castle domain of Le Fevere de Ten Hove.

De Stille Reus was also planted by the family Le Fevere de, Ten Hove, saw the castle fall into disrepair, watched the construction of the viaduct and, with the right care, will also experience its decline.
