Our non-profit organisation aims to protect the quality of life and of the environment in 12 municipalities in the east of Belgium. Our main fields of action are nature conservation, urban planning and landscape protection, rural development (including sustainable tourism, agriculture and forestry). These goals can be achieved through innovation, partnerships and awareness-raising.
Located in the heart of the protected area, the Scientific Station of the High Fens was built in 1924 in order to study this peculiar area. Nowadays, it hosts a multidisciplinary team, studying both the history and the species of the High Fens. The Station also welcomes numerous pupils and students, in order to provide them a field-based scientific education.
