Fishpond forest
Fishpond forest
To the northeast of the city, between the A6 and the N307, you will find the fishpond forest. The forest is named after the former fish farm located northwest of the area.
The area is managed by the Forestry Commission. Through the south-eastern part of the forest area runs the Noordertocht canal. The area is home to the pine marten and the beaver, among others. The fishpond forest is a link in the ecological connecting zone between the Houtribbos on the west side and the nature reserves in the northeast of southern Flevoland.
