IN 2018, WE IMPLEMENTED THE PLAYFUL FOREST PROJECT IN THE VILLAGE OF LOMNICE NEAR RÝMAŘOV. TO CREATE IT, 2,310 M2 OF EXISTING VEGETATION HAD TO BE CLEARED AND FOUR MATURE TREES WERE CUT DOWN. THEY WERE REPLACED WITH NINE FRUIT TREES, 20 FRUIT SHRUBS, AND 1,150 PERENNIAL PLANTS. A LAWN COVERING AN AREA OF 1,010 M2 AND A MEADOW MIX OF 870 M2 WERE ALSO ESTABLISHED.

AN IMPORTANT PART OF THE PLAYFUL FOREST ARE THE PLAY AND EDUCATIONAL ELEMENTS, INCLUDING A SENSORY PATHWAY, DENDROFRON, TOWER OF KNOWLEDGE, EDUCATIONAL SIGNS ABOUT TREES, WOODEN ANIMAL SCULPTURES, ANIMAL FOOTPRINTS, A HEDGEHOG HOUSE, A LIZARD HOUSE, AND, LAST BUT NOT LEAST, A SQUIRREL HOUSE KNOWN AS THE HOBBIT HOUSE.

SEVERAL SEATING AREAS ARE SCATTERED THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE PARK, ALONG WITH WOODEN BICYCLE STANDS AND EVEN A DESIGNATED SPOT FOR CAMPFIRE ACTIVITIES.
