The forest news is a window into the Woods, what happens there when we are present and the others are not.

The WOODS have water.
The well is 76 m deep, the water is crystal clear, free of nitrite and other pollution, and the spring is strong. The drilling went very smoothly, perm is the local subsoil, sand from the surface to the bottom. Next time you arrive, we will baptise the forest well together!
We thank our geologist, Ms. Hájková, who takes care of the successful course of the drilling.

Beavers on the pond
It looked like the coronavirus would be the second bark beetle! Indecipherable security reports from the government and municipalities started to penetrate the first sunny days of quarantine in the forest, where an unprecedented number of people, trapped at home, go to walk, run, ride bicycles and horses. The reports were soon drowned in the daily whirr of saws from all corners of the surrounding forests. Men with machines preventively extract spruces. Finally, the winter rest is ending together with the mining season. Hopefully some spruces will remain here. New lumberjacks have at least a different appetite and their activities, unlike those of humans, contribute to water retention in the landscape.
