From maple to bench and insect hotel in Burgemeester Warnaar Park
Not long ago, we had to say goodbye to the maple tree next to the aviary in Burgemeester Warnaar Park. The tree was diseased due to a fungus that attacked its roots, causing it to eventually fall over. To ensure the safety of pedestrians and children playing, we had to remove the tree. It was a great loss, as the maple was a real focal point in the park.
Fortunately, the tree now lives on in a beautiful way
From its wood, we have created new elements for the park. Near the aviary, there are now two benches and a chair made from the old maple. We have also had a large insect hotel and ten birdhouses made from the wood. In this way, the tree remains part of the park and provides a pleasant spot for insects and birds.
Greenery in Burgemeester Warnaar Park expanded with three new trees
These trees, about ten years old, previously stood at Cultuurhuys de Kroon, where they grew in flower boxes. They had become too large there, so we relocated them. Here, they will have plenty of space to grow further. This ensures that Burgemeester Warnaar Park remains a green, pleasant place to walk, play, and enjoy nature.
