    Hiking

    In this newly purchased piece of Paardenbos, 3,000 shrubs and 730 trees were planted for the children born in 2016. The names of 152 Merchtemnaartjes, who let their first cries sound in 2016, are on the board at the edge of this native forest. (Natuurpunt department Merchtem)

    Hiking

    This birth forest also made it into the press (nieuwsblad.be/cnt/dmf20180304_03388951). Then it was even balder. Now it was almost a bush.

    The Birth Forest 2016 is located at the entrance of the Paardenbos.
    Saplings symbolize the new life in the municipality of Merchtem.
    The Paardenbos is part of the Paddebroekenbos. It is originally a mixed area of stream forests and swampy meadows. Marigolds color the nature reserve in the right season.
