Description

Beautiful tree-lined avenues, grassy areas and extensive heathland. The Zwolle forest not only offers glimpses of the diversity in this area, but also of its history. The old heath made way for the woods, but is slowly getting more room to grow. In 1972 and 1973, two severe storms wreaked havoc in the area and wiped out a third of the Zwolle forest. This offered opportunities for planting deciduous trees between the dark, heavy coniferous trees, which benefited diversity. The moist area in the northwest corner was also turned over at the time to promote the growth of heather plants. Now peat fluff, heather, sundew and white beak rush are growing there again. Old and young nature alternate nicely in this area. Although sheep used to graze the heath, the area is now too small for that. The site is now maintained with the help of machines. This is always done in small pieces, so as not to disturb the peace of the viviparous lizard, the slow worm, many butterflies and insects and all kinds of other larger mammals.
