Purchase of Kocherbos nature reserve, Muiderberg
The Goois Natuurreservaat, supported in part by the contribution from Stichting De Boomgaard, was able to purchase the Kocherbos in Muiderberg. Kocherbos, an 8.5-hectare nature reserve, is home to many plants and animals, including 30 breeding bird species such as the long-eared owl and kingfisher, pine marten and squirrels. The forest will remain accessible to hikers and the hockey pitch will also remain in use.
