Waterdunes

Description

In West Zeeuws-Vlaanderen, a 350-hectare nature and recreation area was created in 2012 at the site where the Napoleonhoeve campsite and a large arable farming area used to be. This area is located in the Oud- and Jong Breskenspolder, north of Groede, between the Groedse Duintjes and the Schoneveld bungalow park. The nature was designed as tidal nature, with water flowing into the nature area from the Westerschelde through a tidal culvert. By the end of 2014, the earthworks were completed. A remarkable aspect of the project is that the area is arranged in such a way that visitors can observe the birds very closely through bird-watching huts and viewing screens. Many migratory birds are expected in the future area, as it is located at a very strategic point. From this location, many migratory birds cross the Westerschelde. At the height of Waterdunen, there is a widely used counting point for birdwatchers. In the new area, the migratory birds will be able to rest, wash, forage for food, and drink water. Many special species pass through here annually, including bee-eaters.

An additional feature is that in part of the area, saline crops are allowed. This includes plants such as samphire, which are used as vegetables.
