Known for its diverse wooded landscape, the Schovenhorst Estate, 50km east of Amsterdam, was founded in 1848. Collecting seeds from around the world, the founding arborists began with an experiment to ascertain which species would grow on the heathland near Putten. The land proved extremely fertile and hospitable, and today the results have yielded four distinct collections: the small and large Pinetum, the Arboretum and the Three Continents Forest. To aid appreciation and interpretation of this spectacle, a new structure called The Forest Tower has recently been added.
