True Skov
True Skov (True Forest) is a 385 hectares (950 acres) woodland, west of Skjoldhøjkilen in Aarhus, Denmark.
True Skov is named after the small village of True and forms part of the New Forests of Aarhus. It is a relatively recent afforestation - and the largest within the region of Søhøjlandet -, raised primarily in 1994 on former agricultural fields. New trees are still being planted here occasionally and the forest is planned to cover a total of 650 ha, at some point in the future.
Although located entirely within Aarhus Municipality, True Skov is administered by the State of Denmark.
