Tips

🇧🇪 Herwig Aertbeliën

March 16, 2022

Pupils from the local schools helped with planting the honey forest, setting up a wall of branches and making "bee hotels".

Natuurpunt has also built a cozy picnic spot in the Wiestermeers, on an old Denderarm where a honey grove was also planted. The Wiestermeers nature trail was also constructed a few years ago. The trail passes through a forest complex that is very old and valuable. The trees and shrubs are the descendants of trees and shrubs that settled after the last ice age, 13,000 years ago. The path offers a view of the right bank of an Oude Dender, rows of pollard willows and passes a castle park and a historic farm.
