Beekbergerwoud

The Netherlands has 20 national parks and hundreds of other nature reserves. Most are owned by Staatsbosbeheer and Natuurmonumenten and include lakes, heathland, woods, dunes and other habitats.

 

According to the World Wide Fund for Nature, the territory of the Netherlands belongs to the Eco region of Atlantic mixed forests.

In 1871 the last old original natural woods (Beekbergerwoud) were cut down, and most woods today are planted monocultures of trees like Scots Pine and trees that are not native to the Netherlands. These woods were planted on anthropogenic heaths and sand-drifts (overgrazed heaths) (Veluwe).

 

For a long time the Beekbergerwoud has been known as the last `primaeval` woodland of the Netherlands.

Natuurmonumenten started in 2006 with the restoration of the area and tries to gain back a little of the fairytale wilderness.

Nutrient-poor and crystal clear water wells up at some places and there are still rare plants from the former swamp present. Seeds of native trees and plants are still in the ground and can sprout again.

Beekbergerwoud

10 juni 2013, natuur in wording. Even ten zuiden van Apeldoorn ligt het Beekbergerwoud. Ooit het laatste oerbos van Nederland, ontwikkelt dit vroegere agrarische gebied zich al weer aardig tot een gevarieerd natuurgebied waar je heerlijk kunt wandelen. Zo’n 8.000 jaar bleef het Beekbergerwoud ongeschonden. Totdat in 1871 tot de laatste boom werd geveld. Er kwam een agrarisch gebied met weilanden en akkers. Natuurmonumenten is in 2006 begonnen met herstel van het gebied en probeert daarbij iets van de sprookjesachtige wildernis terug te brengen. Je kunt in het Beekbergerwoud wandelen vanaf de parkeerplaats aan de Woudweg in Klarenbeek. Helder water Een bijzonder natuurgebied om te beleven, want de omstandigheden voor unieke natuur zijn nog altijd aanwezig: Er welt op een aantal plaatsen kraakhelder, voedselarm water uit de bodem op. En zijn nog steeds zeldzame planten uit het voormalige moerasbos aanwezig. Zaden van oorspronkelijke bomen en planten zaten nog in de grond en kunnen weer ontkiemen. Verbinding met IJsseldelta Het herstel houdt in dat het schone welwater beter in het gebied blijft staan. Op een aantal bulten zijn al zoete kers, zomereik, haagbeuk en winterlinde geplant. Meer werkzaamheden zullen volgen, met als doel dat het Beekbergerwoud een aanwinst is voor de Nederlandse natuur. Een onmisbare schakel die de Veluwe als vanouds met de IJsseldelta verbindt. Zodat planten, zoogdieren, vogels, reptielen en amfibieën zich beter over grote afstand kunnen verplaatsen.

Yesterday (9th May 2016) Mercury, the innermost planet of our solar system, passed in front of the Sun as seen from earth.

 

This image shows the path of Mercury across the disk of the Sun from ingress almost to egress in roughly 30 min steps.

 

North is up.

The last in the Samphire Hoe series, until my next visit....

Through the green, past the trees

Riding on the Summer breeze

Chasing shadows on the ground

Followed by bees that buzz around

As on the branches, winged ones talk

Through the green, i slowly walk

Following the scent blown on the breeze

Of life's beauty blown on the breeze

Last time I went to Hunstanton I chose the wrong beach, right beach this time, but underestimated how far in the tide needs to be, so it was already a bit too far out by the time the sun set. It's a fair old drive, but will be paying a return visit as it's a great location.

Taken on a walk around Manor country park, the colours so much more vibrant than a few weeks previously.

Two shots of the path on my way to work one morning.

 

Both in Tiverton, on Heathcoat Way.

A recent shoot at my local haunt - the embankment yielded a cloudless sky, so, I had to get creative. Luckily, there was some lovely golden hour light in the arches of the suspension bridge.
