Over the years we developed great knowledge of trees, woodlands and perfect enviroment for certain species to develop.
American cherry has been a problem in The Netherlands for decades. They take over the roof of natural species and such important trees as beach or scotspine are pushed out of the system. Since American Cherry is non native species, local insects and little animals has no use of it. It adopted very well and infected dutch land, it is important to keep control of it.
Heathe fields are cultural and historical land made by people in the deserted area. Preserving heathers are extremely important for special insects, vipers, sand and common lizards. Sometimes of high acidity in the air (manure of animals or transport co2 emission) scots pine or on rare occasion oak starts to grow.

Some forests has too many excotic or dead trees which need to be renewd or changed. Also planting and replaning projects help to sustain various species.

On of the most important projects in the forests, which are visited by people, is to keep them safe. Hanging branches, dead trees and overgrown bushes might cause danger to any visitor. Control is a must.
