History
Historically, the Hallerbos was part of the Silva Carbonaria, along with other forests in the vicinity including the Sonian Forest and Meerdaal.[4] As late as 1777, it was still connected by a woodland strip to the Sonian Forest.[5] During World War I, most of the old trees were removed by the occupying German forces. Reforestation took place from 1930 to 1950.[5]
