Former gravel pit and arm of the Meuse today grazed by Konik horses and Galloway cattle. The lakes are home to many wintering birds.
In the Negenoord-Kerkeweerd nature reserve, the Konik horses and Galloway cattle provide grazing all year round. They ensure that a mosaic structure is created with open spaces, flowers and bushes and that biodiversity is increased. That also means more insects and birds. On the water numerous ducks, geese and shorebirds frequent the Negenoord site in winter. The diversity of species and the number of individuals can be remarkable.
