Haagse Beemden

Sign up here!

On Sunday 8th September, the nature guides from IVN Mark &amp; Donge will take a walk through the meadows and forests in the Haagse Beemden.

Historically, there have been meadows here, which are marshy hay and pasture lands that often flooded multiple times a year. As a result, they were only usable for grazing and haymaking, but not for habitation or agriculture. Thanks to all that moisture, these areas became very rich natural environments, with unique vegetation and many bird species. 
Now, this area is used as an additional space for water to go during heavy rainfall, keeping Breda dry. The forest was planted around 40 years ago and is transforming into a marshy wet forest due to the rising groundwater levels. The fields and pastures are increasingly becoming flower-rich grasslands as the nutrient richness in the soil diminishes. Take a stroll and enjoy expansive views of a green horizon.

Bring binoculars, wear waterproof shoes, and be mindful of the possible presence of ticks. 
Registration is possible up until the day of the walk. After registering, you will receive information about the meeting point.
