🌞a bright day for biodiversity!

Exciting fieldwork with Biology students from the University of Antwerp at the Ossenberg (Bekkevoort), restoring vulnerable Molinia meadow and species-rich Nardus grassland habitat. Together, we removed young woody plants and (leaf) litter—giving rare plants like Devil's-bit scabious, cambridge milk parsley and common spotted-orchid a fresh chance to thrive.



In summer, this area will be a sea of color, buzzing with life! 🌿🦋
