Silver Birches

This is the small heath reserve in the woods near Beisbroek and Tudor Castle. Most natural heath areas have disappeared in Belgium, so conservationists have put lots of effort into re-establishing heath areas or giving purple heather the chance to expand by cutting trees and creating the right habitat.

Silver birches (also called European white birches) grow on this small heath.
