    The artist Dirk Verbene explains: "The Life + project creates conditions that allow the raised bog to start growing again. The formation of a new package of raised bogs is restarted by, among other things, restoring the wet conditions that were present for the large dykes in the area. .

    The pioneer vegetation of birch trees that has emerged everywhere in the excavated area in recent decades will partly have to make way for this. The forest disappears where the raised bog appears.

    This installation here in the middle of the Peel, where it all happens, is made of birch that had to accommodate this development.

    A monument to this reversal in the landscape: The vertical trunks of the forest must slowly give way and eventually merge with the horizontal layers of the raised bog package. The future will no longer be counted in annual rings but in layers of peat. "

      Definitely worth seeing, but you have to view it from the viewing platform.

        A special highlight, if you stand on top of the viewing platform and get a direct view of it.
