Insects and flowers, they can't do without each other. Flowers need insects for pollination and reproduction. Insects drink the energy-rich nectar in the flowers to be able to fly; the pollen sticks to their bodies and is transported from flower to flower. Birds feed the protein-rich insects to their young and in this way, everything in nature is interconnected.Dragonflies, butterflies and other insects are true sunbathers. During wind and rain, they seek shelter and remain hidden. Luckily, the Strijbeekse heath still has a lot to offer. Here we find not only heath, but also ponds and forest, providing a great variety of vegetation.Be aware of the possible presence of ticks and nuisance insects: it is advisable to wear protective clothing. If you would like to join the walk, you must register in advance via the website. After that, you will receive a confirmation via email with the starting location.

You can join the nature guides of IVN Mark & Donge again for a walk through the blooming heathland in search of insects and flowers.
