Tips

January 9, 2022

Hiking

To safeguard the raised moor, five water buffers were created between the raised moor area and the surrounding agricultural land. This way the water runs off less quickly and the peat stays wet for longer. Because the water level remains constant, peat moss can grow again and endangered plant and animal species get a chance. On the other hand, the buffers also ensure that surrounding agricultural areas and homes are not affected by the water. The Buffer Zone North is one of those buffers.

Hiking

The water level must remain high in the Bargerveen, but the water level must be lower in the agricultural land around it, because otherwise agriculture will not be possible. In order to maintain the water level in Bargerveen, Buffer North has been constructed at Zwartemeer and Buffer South will be built at Nieuw-Schoonebeek.
