Info walk: Nature restoration in the Merlebeek

In the source area of the Merlebeek in the 'Vallei van de Zuidleie' nature reserve in Oostkamp/Beernem, major restoration works were carried out this autumn. On three hectares of heavily degraded grassland, the top 10 centimeters were excavated and old ditches and filled-in ponds were restored to give rare plant and animal species a fresh start. During this info walk, we will tell you more about these works and what this means for nature in the future. These development works were partly funded by the Nature project subsidy of the Flemish government.
