Pinetum

Everts became fascinated by the forests he saw on his travels to Scandinavia and North America. He decided to start a collection of trees on the family estate Ter Borch, near Anloo, which the family owned since 1910. In 1970 Staatsbosbeheer became owner of the estate.

Walk

A nice walk has been signposted, starting from the parking lot on the south side of the forest, the Galgwanderveen.
