The forests, swamps and wet meadows are home to many different species of animal: from the golden oriole and the common pipistrelle to the moor frog and the European weatherfish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Until recently, part of the Pompveld still comprised former agricultural land, which contributed very little to the biodiversity of the surroundings.

There\u2019s a good reason for doing so, as a varied forest with several species is much more resistant to climate change than forests with just one or few species. If one species gets into difficulties in the future due to drought, for example, then the other tree species keep the forest going.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For instance, we planted <strong>small-leaved lime, hornbeam<\/strong> and <strong>English oak<\/strong> in the drier parts. The wetter middle ground was planted with species like <strong>alder, European white elm<\/strong> and <strong>maple<\/strong>, which grow well on damp soils.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To get the saplings off to a good start, Brabants Landschap pre-sowed the planting location with <strong>rye<\/strong>. The benefits of sowing rye are that it retains moisture, improves the structure of the clay soil, suppresses weeds and provides an alternative for deer, which would otherwise eat the saplings.<\/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=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/treesforall.wptest.go2people.nl\/app\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Boomplantdag-Jubileumbos-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-70719\" srcset=\"https:\/\/treesforall.wptest.go2people.nl\/app\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Boomplantdag-Jubileumbos-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/treesforall.wptest.go2people.nl\/app\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Boomplantdag-Jubileumbos-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/treesforall.wptest.go2people.nl\/app\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Boomplantdag-Jubileumbos-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/treesforall.wptest.go2people.nl\/app\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Boomplantdag-Jubileumbos-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/treesforall.wptest.go2people.nl\/app\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Boomplantdag-Jubileumbos-2048x1366.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/treesforall.wptest.go2people.nl\/app\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Boomplantdag-Jubileumbos-scaled.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>The Jubilee Forest during Tree Planting Day in November 2024<\/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\/20250714_03L1-2-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-70713\" srcset=\"https:\/\/treesforall.wptest.go2people.nl\/app\/uploads\/2025\/08\/20250714_03L1-2-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/treesforall.wptest.go2people.nl\/app\/uploads\/2025\/08\/20250714_03L1-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/treesforall.wptest.go2people.nl\/app\/uploads\/2025\/08\/20250714_03L1-2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/treesforall.wptest.go2people.nl\/app\/uploads\/2025\/08\/20250714_03L1-2-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/treesforall.wptest.go2people.nl\/app\/uploads\/2025\/08\/20250714_03L1-2-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/treesforall.wptest.go2people.nl\/app\/uploads\/2025\/08\/20250714_03L1-2-scaled.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Young trees are already taller than the rye in July 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 now?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It was a dry spring \u2013 so dry, in fact, that the clay soil cracked open in some places. Yet most of the trees are doing <strong>remarkably well<\/strong>! Thanks to the protection of the rye and the nutritious clay soil, some of the saplings are even taller than the rye now. That means that some trees are already twice as tall as when they were planted!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In wet places where no rye was growing, we did see a bit of <strong>rubbing damage<\/strong>. Roebucks use young trees to rub off the itchy velvet on their antlers, and this unfortunately damages the bark as well. Nevertheless, some willows are sprouting again. Nature is incredibly resilient!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the coming years, we will of course be following the progress of the forest carefully. Where necessary, we\u2019ll plant additional trees, so that the Anniversary Forest&nbsp; can develop into a strong, mature forest.<\/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\">The Anniversary Forest is springing into life<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Although the forest is still young, it\u2019s already brimming with life. From the observation hill in the area, forester Bart from Brabants Landschap spotted young <strong>redshanks<\/strong> and <strong>avocets<\/strong> in the spring. And a real birdsong concert was given by <strong>cuckoos, nightingales, blackcaps<\/strong> and <strong>bluethroats<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We also saw cuckoo flowers growing among the rye. Not only is this a beautiful sight, but it\u2019s also very important. Cuckoo flowers are a <strong>host plant for the orange-tip<\/strong>; a butterfly that lays its eggs only on this species of plant. So the Anniversary Forest is already contributing to the conservation of sensitive species.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Forester Bart even discovered the <strong>tracks of a beaver<\/strong> in the sand alongside the forest.
