Creek restoration

A small section of the Vrouwkenshoekkreek remained filled in until recently. This plot is a historic small extension of the Vrouwkenshoekkreek, which was filled in with waste, soil and stones at the time. This section has now been cleared of the maple that dominated. The waste was dug out and the banks were profiled.

Vrouwkenshoekkreek is a creek in the Meetjesland creek area, north of the East Flemish town of Sint-Laureins. The creek is part of a larger creek system that also includes Blokkreek. Although it was a valuable creek, it was filled in the 1950s with sediment from the dredging of the nearby Leopold Canal. This resulted in the disappearance of the unique habitat, leaving only grassland where the creek once lay. In the 1990s, the site was purchased by Natuurpunt, and restoration work began in 2009, including the reestablishment of the connection with Blokkreek, located on Dutch territory (south of Sint Kruis), which had also undergone restoration. The restoration work was completed in 2012. In addition to its function as a nature reserve, the system can also be used for water storage.
