Time for an update! Five years ago, we started with an ambitious and sustainable idea: planting our own forest. Easier said than done, because where do you even begin? Fortunately, we found the perfect location and the right partners to make this plan a reality. Just a few kilometers away, in a new neighborhood in Meppel, we discovered a need for more green space. Together with local residents and project partners, we participated in creative design sessions, which led to the idea for a unique park with a wooded design.

We donated 500 trees for this special project. Our customers were also given the opportunity to contribute, resulting in an additional 278 trees. These donations formed the foundation for the tree forest that was eventually named: Het Mandenmakerspark (Mandator's Park).

In March 2023, the time had come: the first trees were planted and the official nameplate was festively unveiled, together with our project partners. And now, almost two and a half years later? The muddy plain has transformed into a green oasis of tranquility. The trees have grown considerably, and the park lives and breathes, inviting you to stroll, relax, and enjoy nature. It's turned out fantastic!

We're happy to share a few photos to show how the park has come to life. See what the Mandenmakerspark looks like now.
