Chaam (Municipal Forests)
On the Weymoutden plot a fungal infestation has developed, causing the trees to rapidly decline in vitality. We also see quite a few oaks in the neighborhood declining in vitality due to climate change and acidification. We will be replacing the affected trees here with new plantings of climate resilient trees.
Frederiksoord (Weldadigheid Foundation)
This forest originated in the 19th century when a colony there offered the so-called 'paupers' the prospect of a better life. This was done by converting wasteland into farmland and forests. Now we are going to make this forest more biodiverse and offer perspective in a changing climate. In this way this forest will also be preserved for future generations.
Arnhem (Geldersch Landschap en Kasteelen)
The forests on the northwest side of Arnhem belong to the Veluwe, the largest contiguous nature reserve in northwestern Europe. Here we are taking revitalizing measures to make the forest more climate-robust and biodiverse.
