    Meanwhile, the green is making its way back quite well, but it will take some time until the soil is sufficiently impoverished again and the heath prevails again

    Training the tactic of 'scorched earth' with a military exercise was unfortunately successful. An activated smoke grenade accidentally ended up in the verge, and spread like wildfire across the heath. Well, not very smart with weeks of drought and a lot of wind....

    Fortunately, the damage under these circumstances was limited to 130 hectares. More than 500 firefighters and many fire engines did their best with very warm hard work to fight the fire very successfully. For which THANKS!

    Weeds do not perish, fortunately it is only humans who decide what weeds are. Nature knows better, fresh green grass is the first to grow back. The black soil is slowly disappearing. Although you can still smell the burning smell. The trees with black trunks are in some places adorned in brown, dry autumn colours. It is already visible that some trees are getting new leaves. It remains remarkable how resilient nature is.
