A wild Christmas tree from Grenspark Kalmthoutse Heide
The Grenspark Junior Rangers and Natuurpunt invite you to adopt a Christmas tree from the Grenspark. By removing young pine trees, the Junior Rangers help make room for heather growth and for typical heathland species such as the heath butterfly, woodlark, and nightjar.
What you need to know about this unique Christmas tree
This is not just any tree like the ones you find in the garden centre. The pine tree (other than a spruce) you receive from Junior Rangers has a natural, wild look and is 100% organic, with no chemicals or intensive cultivation. The tree is smaller and less full than the usual fir. However, the big advantage of the real fir tree is that it is less likely to lose its needles after being cut down. In addition, this tree tells a unique story of conservation. The tree is between 1.5 and 2 metres tall and has no root ball.
