The Southern Versen Moor lies northwest of Meppen and covers approximately 100 hectares. The area belongs to the Bourtanger Moor-Veenland Nature Park and has been a protected nature reserve since 1999. Part of the area was formerly used for industrial peat extraction, while other sections remain as original raised bogs. Today, the moor is being rewetted to promote the typical vegetation of sphagnum mosses, cotton grass, and heather. The wetlands provide habitat for numerous bird and amphibian species. At the same time, the area contributes to water retention and reduces carbon dioxide emissions – an important contribution to climate protection.
