C.E. Flensborg Plantation, situated near Uldum north of Viborg, was established during World War II from a large number of moor plots acquired which, combined, formed an area of 703 hectares.

History

In 1953, Hedeselskabet made the decision to set up its own Forest Seed Centre in order to supply seeds to its own nurseries.

C.E. Flensborg Plantation then formed the framework for the establishment of a large number of seed orchards and trials, from which forestry in Denmark and abroad is reaping the full benefits.
