Heath restoration at the level of the water pipeline

An important water supply line runs through this forest. Along this line, a strip was cleared as part of the nature management project Biscopveld for heath and grassland restoration. For the dispersion of many plants and animals, it is important that the Eendenputten are connected to other heath areas through corridors and stepping stones, such as the heath field in the provincial domain along the Bornebeek and the nature reserve the Gulke Putten. All deforestations were compensated by reforestation in another location within the Vagevuurbossen. In addition, extra forest expansion is being achieved on top of the forest compensations because forest expansion is also an important objective in this area.
