management issues |
Management
of heather and juniperus community vegetations by wood cutting. Grazing
with a flock of sheep (150) during summer season. Also, keeping up a good
infrastructure for the different recreational users of the site and an info-centre,
run by (approx. 30) volunteers. Planning for restoration of a small moor
area and renaturalisation of former agricultural used grasslands. |
| Organising
at least one Green Days event per year |
In
2004 we will have approx. 20-25 excursions by Staatsbosbeheer and also 20
excursions by IVN (Volunteergroup). On these excursions there is always
information about Natura 2000. In the (near) future we will also give information
on Natura 2000 in our Info-centre 'n Witten'. |
| Promoting
the Natura Network Initiative (NNi) at the local level |
We
tell our visitors in our small infocentre as well on fieldexcursions about
the fact that the site has been designated as a Natura 2000 area. We also
communicate the importance of this fact. |
| Involving
local stakeholders in the management planning process - creating a local
area partnership |
For
the reconstruction of our plan for recreation we have installed a broad
interestgroup of participants. They have recently reached concensus about
a reconstruction plan. This plan has to be carried out in the near future
and will benefit the aims of Natura 2000. |
