MEADOW BIRD PROTECTION – AGRARIAN NATURE CONSERVATION

As a member of the Agrarische Natuurverening Waterland we also take part in active meadow bird protection in our own areas too. In the spring we investigate with some volunteers the nests of meadow birds. This way these are protected against mowing and for the nosy cows in the meadow.

Waterland has been well-known internationally for the rich population birds which live there. In the winter innumerable duck types and geese stay here as hibernates. Summery the meadow birds are renowned.

By means of a short walk of 10 minutes you are in the middle of between the calling plovers and godwits.
