The last snowdrops are still blooming, and here and there, along the forest edges, flowering catkins and female flowers can be found on the hazel. But the flowers of the cherry dogwood are particularly striking at the forest edges. In sunny spots along the paths, the first yellow stars of celandine appear. The most striking spring bloomer in the forest right now is the wild daffodil. Every day, new blooming daffodils appear, forming small, striking clusters. The leaves of the bluebells pierce through the dead beech leaves. Last winter, ‘reeblocks’ were placed around the small clusters of trees planted. This was to prevent roe deer from eating the young trees. The wooden fences will simply rot away after a few years, once they have fulfilled their protective role.
