Nature management plan 2015, Agricultural nature reserve collective farm birds (history)

On the basis of the Subsidie Ordinance Natuur en Landschapsbeheer Drenthe, the provincial government of Drenthe adopted the nature management plan Drenthe, version 2014. This indicates where and which nature is present or can be developed, how this nature can be managed and what opportunities are offered for landscape maintenance. Drenthe has traditionally been a core area for arable birds. Arable birds are under strong pressure. Species such as partridge and field lions have declined by about 75-95 % over the last 25 years. The arable birds have their highest densities in the peat colonial areas, the large-scale heath extractions and to a lesser extent on the ash. Different standards apply to the three landscape parts in Drenthe. Within the search areas, arable bird management can be requested on the basis of collective arable bird plans.
