Vlieland consists mainly of sand dunes alternated with deciduous and evergreen forests. The woods are comprised predominately of Austrian and Corsican pinetrees. Spruce firs and alders have been planted in the wetter parts of the forest. Deciduous trees such as oak, birch, alder and maple give the forest an attractive, varied look.
Visitors can enjoy the symphonies of the finches living in the forest and admire the large variety of plants, flowers and mushrooms growing there.
