Get to know the Great High Bee-mortar

Walk in the context of the "day of nature" Through targeted purchases and management agreements, the Grote Beemortel was able to grow in a few years from 14 ha to an area of more than 22 ha. Get acquainted with these as-yet-unknown expansions. We guide you along very wet parts, next to the Valkelaerebeek to dry pine forests on the Gele weg. Also the poplar forest with the mistletoes can be viewed closely for the first time. Due to the difficult summers of 2023 and '24 being very wet and '25 and '26 with long dry periods, many trees, especially poplars, have died. In the new plots, the consequences of global warming are clearly visible. The first transformations into a mixed forest are already visible. The future management plan is also explained.
