Between 2007 and 2010, the Bergerven nature reserve was developed. This nature development project further increased the natural value of the area. Space was created for wooded wet and dry heathlands, heathland grasslands and (broom) shrubs. Striking plants now include red bell heather and floating water plantain. Headlands and shallow zones were created along the northern part of the largest lake. An ideal habitat for amphibians.
The extensive inventory list shows that Bergerven is doing well in terms of birds. While walking, you can stop at the birdwatching hut and look for waders, dabbling ducks and diving ducks. And the extras such as the sand martin wall and an artificial nest for the osprey will only benefit that wealth.
We try to ensure the open landscape of the Bergerven nature reserve by extensive grazing with Galloway cattle and Konik horses, mowing and coppicing.
