Nederland - Strabrechtse Heide

The Strabrechtse Heide is a nature area about 1500 ha in size. It is largely under the care of Staatsbosbeheer (a Dutch government organization for forestry and the management of nature reserves).
The area is the largest continuous heathland area in the province of Noord-Brabant with numerous fens, woods and sand drift areas.

Common Heather and Common Juniper are found in the dry areas, and the more marshy wetlands are home to Erica, Purple Moor Grass, Bog Myrtle and Marsh Gentian. The spread of grass across the area is countered by allowing a flock of sheep to graze, by mowing and sod cutting. The heath area is surrounded by forests.

The nature area was assigned as”Natura 2000” area under the name "Strabrechtse Heide & Beuven".
