The approved nature reserve of ‘Prés Rosières’ (Deux-Acren, Overboelare, Moerbeke), the only bi-community reserve in our country, is owned in Wallonia by the LRBPO and, in Flanders, by Natuurpunt, another nature protection association.

It is located along the Marcq, a fish-filled river with its mouth in the Dendre, in a very green valley and almost free of any habitation. Almost the entire valley has recently been recognized as a Natura 2000 zone, both by the Walloon Region and the Flemish Region, and part of it as a quiet zone. The hillsides, covered in some places with mixed deciduous woods, offer magnificent views. With an area of 80 ha, ‘Prés Rosières’ was created in 1987. The League has a reception center there in the barn of the historic St-Antoine farm.

The Rietbeemd (French: Les Prés Rosières) is a cross-language recognised nature reserve in the valley of the Mark (tributary of the Dender) on the edge of the Flemish Ardennes in South-East Flanders and the north of Hainaut. The nature reserve is partly located on the territory of the city of Geraardsbergen (sub-municipalities of Overboelare and Moerbeke) and extends across the language border into Wallonia as the nature reserve "Les Prés Rosières" in Lessen in Hainaut (sub-municipality of Twee-Akren). The 80 ha reserve was founded in 1987 and covers the building-free part of the Marke. The reserve is part of the Flemish Ecological Network. It is recognised as European Natura 2000 area BE2300005 (Forests of the Flemish Ardennes and other South Flemish forests) on the Flemish side and as Natura 2000 area BE3200005 ('Vallées de la Dendre et de la Marcq') on the Walloon side. It is managed on the Flemish side by Natuurpunt and on the Walloon side by the "Ligue Royale Belge pour la Protection des Oiseaux" (LRBPO-Belgian League for the Protection of Birds).
