Ecologically Managed Biodiversity Field

In an ecological manner, the Kunstfort, with the help of an enthusiastic group of volunteers led by ecology officer Mariken Straat, has been maintaining a herb-rich field to promote biodiversity since 2013.

You can find the field, seen from the Kunstfort, behind the kitchen gardens across Spieringweg.

In and around the field, in addition to shrubs such as hazel, blackthorn, hawthorn, dog rose, elder and sporchwood, there are more than 40 species of perennial plants including cheesy herb, dill, meadow root, common daisy, ironwort, orange hawkweed, knotweed, cardamom and wild marjoram.
