What is the essence of the Biesbosch? With this question a working group consisting of volunteers and professionals set to work. After thorough research, the following themes emerged: beavers, water, birds, plants and the history of the vast nature reserve that is always on the move. Together they form the common thread of the interactive exhibition in the renovated and modernized public space of the Biesbosch Center.
The purpose of the new exhibition is to take the knowledge, ideas and tips you take with you outside. After all, you really experience the Biesbosch outside in nature.
From the inside out
Coordinator of public activities Martine de Koning is pleased with the result. "It has turned out beautifully. A real shame we can't share it with visitors yet. The five themes each have their own route. By following these you discover more and more about the Biesbosch. For the children we have a surprising but also educational scavenger hunt. The aim of the exhibition is to use the knowledge, ideas and tips you take away along the way to then go outside. After all, you really experience the Biesbosch outside in nature."
Renewed beaver forest
"It is of course nice that people can enjoy a walk in the recreation area. Fortunately, the rental of whisper boats, canoes and SUPs is also possible again. The beaver forest, next to the visitor center, has also been renewed and is definitely worth a visit. The art castle has been renewed, as well as the information boards. The two beavers that used to live there in the enclosure are no longer there.
Meanwhile, the beaver population has grown so much that they can be easily spotted in their natural habitat via a hike, excursion or boat ride. If you don't see the beavers themselves, at least traces of them can be found. Apparently they are having a good time in the Biesbosch. Over three hundred beavers now live in the area. By the way, we also have a new treasure hunt for the beaver forest. This will soon be on sale at the Biesbosch Center."
Great view from the terrace
"With the Climbing Forest we are in talks to offer a joint program. It's a fantastic addition to our educational offerings. We look forward to offering even more to visitors to the area with a stop at the Biesbosch Center. It will be even better when the catering facilities and thus the terrace with its great view also open. In any case, we are ready for it."
