From a ranger's view
Ranger Rob Koetsier says: âOften you can find me in the Cirkelbos forest, near the creek there. I follow the course of that creek, from its source right up to its estuary at the Waterlandse Tocht. On my way I see large trees; some have a diameter of one metre. And many animals cross my path. Deer will dart away. Buzzards circle high above in the sky. I can hear the golden oriole in the high trees and the reed warbler in the reed. The Almeerderhout hosts bird species who prefer dense forests as well as those who live near the open water. When evening falls and I hear the barn owl call, I don’t want to be anywhere else.â
