Projectvideo's The best helmsmen are always on the shore? In the Aamsveen - Hündfelder Moor they also go into the field! Accompany the people who work in the area and take part in their observations ...
Het Nederlandse Aamsveen en het Duitse Hündfelder Moor vormen samen één grensoverschrijdend hoogveensysteem. Turfwinning heeft beide gebieden beschadigd. Door ze weer natter te maken, herstellen we de natuur en bouwen we een klimaatbuffer (2024).

In the lagg zone, between the raised bog and the lateral moraine west of the Aamsveen, 'acidic' peat water and mineral-rich (seepage) water mix. As a result, very diverse and often rare plant and animal species live in this transitional area.
To determine the depth of the peat dams (which hold back the rainwater in the moor), the thickness of the peat layer is first determined. This is not the same everywhere. The black 'soil' in the borehole is the so-called 'black peat'.
