    Description

    My husband and I purchased the property fifteen years ago and have been working to reclaim fields, garden, vegetable patch from its abandoned state. We would now like to undertake a project to restore an area of woodland to an environmentally, animal friendly oasis. The help involves clearing and reclaiming nature which had been left untended for years. It is inhabited by deer, birds and rabbits. Over the years brambles and nettles have taken over. The plan is to create animal friendly piles of branches, reclaim the paths and tame the undesirable undergrowth. We are located about twenty five minutes from Brussels and about thirty five minutes from Antwerpen. You can travel to most places in Belgium by train or bus.
