Various nature-focused events and conservation activities are being conducted across the Netherlands and Belgium. In the Netherlands, scheduled activities include a silence walk in the De Groote Peel peatland area organized by Staatsbosbeheer, as well as maintenance work in the Sophiapolder region. In Hendrik-Ido-Ambacht, forest ranger Wouter Boer has been repairing wooden walkways and monitoring wildlife, including kingfishers and insects, while noting the need for visitors to manage litter. Other biological observations in the Netherlands include the life cycles of forest dung beetles in the Veluwe and the phenomenon of guttation in certain fungi. New initiatives in the Netherlands include a ‘Wilde Buitendag’ (Wild Outdoor Day) organized by Natuurmonumenten in the Vreugderijkerwaard near Zwolle on October 10. This event is intended for children aged 3 to 12 to learn about nature through activities such as animal tracking, fire making, and building beaver dams. Furthermore, ARK Rewilding Nederland will host a ‘de-fencing’ event at KempenBroek on November 1. Volunteers will remove old fences, mesh, and barbed wire to create more space for wild nature and improve habitat connectivity. The objective is to reduce landscape fragmentation and facilitate free movement for animals across the cross-border nature area. In Belgium, the municipality of Koekelare is participating in Forest Week. Activities include guided walks in the Koekelare Forest and the Arboretum, featuring topics such as tree species resilience to climate change and evening tours of the forest.
