Thanks to this varied nature, all sorts of animals and plants feel at home there. They include golden orioles, black woodpeckers, goldcrests, pine martens, badgers, tawny owls and various bats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, not all parts of the area are equally healthy and resilient. Many old forests consist of fir trees that were once planted for the production of wood. These monoculture forests are vulnerable to the <strong>consequences of climate change<\/strong>, such as drought, disease and pests. This is why we\u2019re helping the Frisian landscape organisation It Fryske Gea to expand the Ketliker Skar with new forests consisting of many different species.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A <strong>mixed forest<\/strong> is much stronger than forests consisting of just one or a few species of tree. If one species gets into difficulties, then the other tree species keep the forest going. Moreover, a varied deciduous forest is less prone to forest fires, retains water better and enriches the soil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this way, we\u2019re reinforcing the existing nature in the Ketliker Skar and providing <strong>more habitats<\/strong> for animals and plants. In short, we\u2019re creating a future-proof forest for people and nature!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-g2p-wrapper\"><div class=\"container\"><div class=\"row justify-content-center\"><div class=\"col-12 col-md-10 col-lg-8\">    <section class=\"wp-acf-block block-slider \">\n\n        <div class=\"slider\">\n                            <div class=\"slide\">\n                    <figure>\n                                                    <img data-src=\"https:\/\/treesforall.wptest.go2people.nl\/app\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Ketliker-Skar-boomplantdag-maart-2025-5-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"Ketliker Skar - boomplantdag (maart 2025) (5)\" class=\"tns-lazy\" \/>\n                                                                    <\/figure>\n                <\/div>\n                            <div class=\"slide\">\n                    <figure>\n                                                    <img data-src=\"https:\/\/treesforall.wptest.go2people.nl\/app\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Ketliker-Skar-boomplantdag-maart-2025-8-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"Ketliker Skar - boomplantdag (maart 2025) (8)\" class=\"tns-lazy\" \/>\n                                                                    <\/figure>\n                <\/div>\n                            <div class=\"slide\">\n                    <figure>\n                                                    <img data-src=\"https:\/\/treesforall.wptest.go2people.nl\/app\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Ketliker-Skar-boomplantdag-maart-2025-4-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"Ketliker Skar - boomplantdag (maart 2025) (4)\" class=\"tns-lazy\" \/>\n                                                                    <\/figure>\n                <\/div>\n                            <div class=\"slide\">\n                    <figure>\n                                                    <img data-src=\"https:\/\/treesforall.wptest.go2people.nl\/app\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Ketliker-Skar-boomplantdag-maart-2025-2-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"Ketliker Skar - boomplantdag (maart 2025) (2)\" class=\"tns-lazy\" \/>\n                                                                    <\/figure>\n                <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/section>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Corporate donors helped with planting this winter in Ketliker Skar<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-g2p-wrapper\"><div class=\"container\"><div class=\"row justify-content-center\"><div class=\"col-12 col-md-10 col-lg-8\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-left\">What approach did we take?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We planted <strong>10.5 hectares of new forest<\/strong> on former agricultural land adjacent to the Ketliker Skar. In addition, three grasslands within the existing nature reserve have been transformed into forest. In total, that\u2019s almost <strong>10 football pitches<\/strong> of new nature!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before the trees were planted, It Fryske Gea first ploughed the soil and then worked it with a rotary cultivator. This ensures a better soil structure with enough nutrients, so that the trees and shrubs will be able to root easily and rain water will be retained better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We didn\u2019t plant the trees on our own, however. On a sunny planting day, our enthusiastic corporate donors came along to help and planted hundreds of trees. The other locations were planted later on by machine. So the whole area is now a nice mix of deciduous trees and shrubs.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-g2p-wrapper\"><div class=\"container\"><div class=\"row justify-content-center\"><div class=\"col-12\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-1 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/treesforall.wptest.go2people.nl\/app\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Ketliker-Skar-boomplantdag-maart-2025-6-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-71064\" srcset=\"https:\/\/treesforall.wptest.go2people.nl\/app\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Ketliker-Skar-boomplantdag-maart-2025-6-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/treesforall.wptest.go2people.nl\/app\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Ketliker-Skar-boomplantdag-maart-2025-6-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/treesforall.wptest.go2people.nl\/app\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Ketliker-Skar-boomplantdag-maart-2025-6-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/treesforall.wptest.go2people.nl\/app\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Ketliker-Skar-boomplantdag-maart-2025-6-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/treesforall.wptest.go2people.nl\/app\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Ketliker-Skar-boomplantdag-maart-2025-6-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/treesforall.wptest.go2people.nl\/app\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Ketliker-Skar-boomplantdag-maart-2025-6-scaled.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Ketliker Skar during tree planting day in March 2025&#8230;<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/treesforall.wptest.go2people.nl\/app\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Ketliker-Skar-projectbezoek-augustus-2025-2-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-71048\" srcset=\"https:\/\/treesforall.wptest.go2people.nl\/app\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Ketliker-Skar-projectbezoek-augustus-2025-2-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/treesforall.wptest.go2people.nl\/app\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Ketliker-Skar-projectbezoek-augustus-2025-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/treesforall.wptest.go2people.nl\/app\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Ketliker-Skar-projectbezoek-augustus-2025-2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/treesforall.wptest.go2people.nl\/app\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Ketliker-Skar-projectbezoek-augustus-2025-2-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/treesforall.wptest.go2people.nl\/app\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Ketliker-Skar-projectbezoek-augustus-2025-2-scaled.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>&#8230;and during our field visit in August 2025.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-g2p-wrapper\"><div class=\"container\"><div class=\"row justify-content-center\"><div class=\"col-12 col-md-10 col-lg-8\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-left\">How are the trees doing?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The planting process was quite a challenge. So much rain fell in the winter that the soil became very boggy and we had to postpone planting several times. In the end, however, we succeeded in planting all 15,984 trees and shrubs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This was followed by an extremely dry spring. Fortunately, there was still enough moisture in the ground, so the young trees and shrubs got off to a good start. Up to now, nearly all the trees have survived and hardly any have been lost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even better: a great many extra species are growing spontaneously. During our field visit last summer, we saw larch, holly, oak, heather and young birch trees coming up from seeds that have come in from the surrounding forest. That\u2019s a good sign that nature has found its way to the new forest!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To protect the saplings, It Fryske Gea surrounded the planting locations with a fence of over two metres high. This will prevent wildlife gnawing at the young trees. Once the trees are big enough, which will take at least seven years, the fence will be removed.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-g2p-wrapper  has-primary-background-color\"><div class=\"container\"><div class=\"row justify-content-center\"><div class=\"col-12\">\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-2 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-left has-white-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-3dacd5acb380a699373c3b0c65211f47\"><strong>A special piece of nature<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-72de842d5f3f5bedd793b5cd8d4a4196\">It Fryske Gea looked carefully at which trees were indigenous to this area. They took inspiration from the varied forests of the \u2018Stellario-carpinetum\u2019, or oak-hornbeam forest. This type of forest is hardly found any more in the Northern Netherlands, but it grows really well on the boulder clay soil. By planting specific species, such as hornbeam, lime, wild cherry and field maple, we\u2019re contributing to this special type of nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a id=\"_msocom_1\"><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">    <section class=\"wp-acf-block block-slider \">\n\n        <div class=\"slider\">\n                            <div class=\"slide\">\n                    <figure>\n                                                    <img data-src=\"https:\/\/treesforall.wptest.go2people.nl\/app\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Ketliker-Skar-projectbezoek-augustus-2025-11-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"Ketliker Skar (projectbezoek augustus 2025) (11)\" class=\"tns-lazy\" \/>\n                                                                    <\/figure>\n                <\/div>\n                            <div class=\"slide\">\n                    <figure>\n                                                    <img data-src=\"https:\/\/treesforall.wptest.go2people.nl\/app\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Ketliker-Skar-projectbezoek-augustus-2025-15-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"Ketliker Skar (projectbezoek augustus 2025) (15)\" class=\"tns-lazy\" \/>\n                                                                    <\/figure>\n                <\/div>\n                            <div class=\"slide\">\n                    <figure>\n                                                    <img data-src=\"https:\/\/treesforall.wptest.go2people.nl\/app\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Ketliker-Skar-projectbezoek-augustus-2025-13-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"Ketliker Skar (projectbezoek augustus 2025) (13)\" class=\"tns-lazy\" \/>\n                                                                    <\/figure>\n                <\/div>\n                            <div class=\"slide\">\n                    <figure>\n                                                    <img data-src=\"https:\/\/treesforall.wptest.go2people.nl\/app\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Ketliker-Skar-projectbezoek-augustus-2025-7-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"Ketliker Skar (projectbezoek augustus 2025) (7)\" class=\"tns-lazy\" \/>\n                                                                    <\/figure>\n                <\/div>\n                            <div class=\"slide\">\n                    <figure>\n                                                    <img data-src=\"https:\/\/treesforall.wptest.go2people.nl\/app\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Ketliker-Skar-projectbezoek-augustus-2025-3-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"Ketliker Skar (projectbezoek augustus 2025) (3)\" class=\"tns-lazy\" \/>\n                                                                    <\/figure>\n                <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/section>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-ee40026f22fde962de5fc5e7b89fb2eb\"><em>New forest in Ketliker Skar (August 2025)<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-g2p-wrapper\"><div class=\"container\"><div class=\"row justify-content-center\"><div class=\"col-12 col-md-10 col-lg-8\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-left\">From badger to tawny owl: more habitats for woodland animals<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Through this project, we\u2019re expanding not only the surface area of the forests in Friesland, but also the <strong>biodiversity<\/strong>. In total, we planted more than <strong>25 different species<\/strong> that are well suited to the area, ranging from alder, hornbeam, small-leaved lime and wild cherry to blackthorn, alder buckthorn, holly, crab apple and even juniper. Many of these species flower profusely and provide a real feast for insects!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This variety of tree species also <strong>attracts other creatures<\/strong>, such as birds, mammals and small mammals. There are already ravens brooding in the Ketliker Skar, there\u2019s a badger\u2019s sett and a wolf has even been spotted. We hope the new forest will soon also be home to rare species like the eagle owl, red kite and black stork.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It Fryske Gea is actively monitoring the development of the flora and fauna, so that we can closely follow the positive effects of the new forest in the coming years.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-g2p-wrapper\"><div class=\"container\"><div class=\"row justify-content-center\"><div class=\"col-12\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-3 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/treesforall.wptest.go2people.nl\/app\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Ketliker-Skar-juli-2024-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-71062\" srcset=\"https:\/\/treesforall.wptest.go2people.nl\/app\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Ketliker-Skar-juli-2024-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/treesforall.wptest.go2people.nl\/app\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Ketliker-Skar-juli-2024-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/treesforall.wptest.go2people.nl\/app\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Ketliker-Skar-juli-2024-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/treesforall.wptest.go2people.nl\/app\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Ketliker-Skar-juli-2024-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/treesforall.wptest.go2people.nl\/app\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Ketliker-Skar-juli-2024-scaled.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>One of the planting locations in July 2024&#8230;<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/treesforall.wptest.go2people.nl\/app\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Ketliker-Skar-projectbezoek-augustus-2025-22-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-71060\" srcset=\"https:\/\/treesforall.wptest.go2people.nl\/app\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Ketliker-Skar-projectbezoek-augustus-2025-22-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/treesforall.wptest.go2people.nl\/app\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Ketliker-Skar-projectbezoek-augustus-2025-22-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/treesforall.wptest.go2people.nl\/app\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Ketliker-Skar-projectbezoek-augustus-2025-22-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/treesforall.wptest.go2people.nl\/app\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Ketliker-Skar-projectbezoek-augustus-2025-22-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/treesforall.wptest.go2people.nl\/app\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Ketliker-Skar-projectbezoek-augustus-2025-22-scaled.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>&#8230;and after planting in August 2025.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-g2p-wrapper\"><div class=\"container\"><div class=\"row justify-content-center\"><div class=\"col-12 col-md-10 col-lg-8\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-left\">Tree planters &#8211; thank you!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019d never have been able to do all this without your donations.
