The Clingse woods (also: Clingense woods) is a forest area between Hulst and Sint Jansteen. The area connects to the Steense forests and across the Belgian border to the Stropersbos. The area consists of deciduous forest and is freely accessible. Two walking routes have been set out. Since 2008, the area (which is a water extraction area of Evides) has been managed by the Het Zeeuwse Landschap Foundation. The Clingse Forests, together with the Wilde Landen, the Steense forests and the Schommeling, have formed the 'Water extraction forests' since 2020.
The original forest consisted mainly of conifers, which thrived on this sandy soil until the Lettersetter struck in the 2010s. From 2021, the dead trees were replaced with a multitude of species, to reduce vulnerability to pests and diseases.

Heather Stropersbos

Highlight • Natural

In the 19th century, coniferous forests were planted on a large scale in the Stropersbos. That wood was needed to firmly support the tunnels of the coal mines. But in terms of natural value it did not amount to much. That is why the coniferous forest was thinned and cut down over the years. Young heathland appeared again, with bushes and shrubs. Highly appreciated by field crickets and woodlarks. Grazers ensure that the young heath does not reforest.

Stropersbos

Highlight • Forest

The Stropersbos is a natural gem not to be missed with its stately avenues, valuable alder forests, open spaces with heath and its large grazers! Together with the adjacent green areas, the Stropersbos forms one of the largest forest and nature complexes in East Flanders. Numerous walking and cycling opportunities introduce visitors to the Stropersbos. You can also stroll through part of the nature reserve where Konik horses graze. Children are spoiled in the play area.
