In 2022, a large part of the Kolham forest was cut down. Like many other (spruce) forests with a monoculture of Norway spruce, it was in poor condition due to drought and damage. A year later, there are already more than 10,000 young trees in total that will form the new forest. Both trees and shrubs for the forest and avenue trees, which mark the paths. In consultation with Dorpsbelangen, a mix of climate-resistant tree species, species that have rich litter for the soil and species that contribute to improving biodiversity were considered. In total, more than forty different species are planted. In the middle of the forest, there are now eight giant sequoias in a circle, which will serve as the meeting place.

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.

Well, then they shouldn't suddenly be 'decided' without announcing it on a website or something.
