    Tips

    September 3, 2023

    Hiking

    Kolham's village forest was closed in 2022 because it was too dangerous. Many trees fell due to a combination of fungi, drought and storm damage. Together with the province and Staatsbosbeheer, the residents have decided to cut down almost the entire forest and then make a plan for a new forest. In 2023, new trees will be planted.

    Hiking

    In total, there are now more than 10,000 young trees that will form the new forest. Both trees and shrubs for the forest and avenue trees, which mark the paths.
    Not all (dead) trees were cut down; with a view to the Code of Conduct for Species Protection in Forest Management, measures had already been taken to protect squirrels, sparrowhawks and bats. For example, certain trees were left standing.
