Tips

On Wednesday, November 15, 2023, the very last tree of the Babybos was planted in the Schollebos. This puts an end to a special residents' initiative that started eleven years ago.

The initiative for the Babybos came from one of the residents: Capelse Ada Lit got the idea when a tree was knocked down in front of her house after the birth of her son. In collaboration with the municipality, a piece of land near the Schollebos was put to use for the construction of the Babybos.

Over the years, Capel parents have been able to have their own tree planted for their born child. Each tree came with a nameplate with date of birth. A decade and 43 trees later, the plot of land was full, the municipality announced at the end of last year. Another location for a 'restart' turned out not to be possible.

To conclude, a last tree was symbolically planted. All parents and children who have a tree in the Babybos were invited to this event. The municipality has placed a water lime tree in honor of all the children in Capelle. Councilor Marc Wilson unveiled the artwork and sign together with the children present. They also shoveled the earth together near the tree.
