Nature Center Jan Hublé. That is the new name of the Nature and Environment Center De Bourgoyen. Hublé, a biology professor, was the driving force behind the Ghent nature reserve.

The fact that Ghent has its own nature reserve is largely due to Jan Hublé (1923-2009). In 1971, the biology professor presented a plan that formed the basis for the Bourgoyen-Ossemeersen nature reserve as we know it today. In addition to being a professor, Hublé was also a pioneer of Belgian and international nature conservation. He gave advice about and for various nature reserves and was the first professional in our country to teach nature conservation.
