Schaapskooi Vroege Vogelbos
The Schaapskooi in the Vroege Vogelbos Forest is home to Stad & Natuur's sheep flock. Activities for the public are organised here on a regular basis, including the informative sheep talks. School classes from Almere also come to the Schaapskooi to take part in a nature activity from Stad & Natuur's educational programme.
Every spring there is a real wave of lamb births. The so-called 'lamb peep', through the large window at the front of the Schaapskooi, is then a popular activity among visitors. The sheep in the sheepfold are different breeds. When choosing the breeds, Stad & Natuur considered their value in terms of grazing, education, cultural historical value (rarity) and wool quality (in consultation with the Wool Union). The breeds at the schaapskooi are: Drents Heideschapen, Flevolander and Shetland.

Anyone walking through the Vroege Vogelbos is walking through 50 years of history. The first tree was planted in 1972. Now it is one of the oldest and most varied forests in Almere, adjacent to het Beginbos and the Kromslootpark.
