May 2022, a pole has done it... The nest is populated with small storks...

For several years now, the Webbekoms Broek visitor center and the Nature and Forest department have been trying to attract storks to Diest by building stork nests. And with success. Finally, storks are being born again in Flemish Brabant, in an area that transitions from pure recreation to modern rest and relaxation areas to a nature reserve with wild-born storks.

For several years now, the Webbekomsbroek has been very attractive to storks.
In 2016, there was already a near-breeding case on the artificial nest at the Webbekomsbroek visitor center. In 2020, a group of 13 storks plastered in the grasslands of the valley for a long time.
With the arrival of 2 new poles, 2 young storks were born in 2021 for the first time in more than a century.
