Vresselse Bossen

At the edges of the area lived farmers who were severely affected by the shifting sands.

The contemporary management by Staatsbosbeheer focuses on getting a more varied forest composition, including native oak, linden and beech.

The area around the marshes has been grazed by Highland cattle and Exmoor horses in the past.

[4] The Vresselse Bossen are part of Het Groene Woud, a vast nature area between Eindhoven, Den Bosch and Tilburg.

To the north, there is the reclaimed heathland of the Jekschot Heath and to the east lies the DAF test track and Mariahout Forest.
