Join a wetland restoration brigade in your river delta

Rewild peat and reedbeds in the delta

ARK Rewilding Netherlands works with farmers and volunteers to reopen river channels, graze wetlands lightly, and bring bitterns and spoonbills back to the Rhine–Meuse delta.

What you can do

  • Sign up for ARK volunteer days: removing drains, planting reeds, or building bird hides
  • Visit rewilding demonstration farms and ask how grazing herds shape wet meadows
  • Map ditches on your polder walk and share photos with local water boards

How it works

Brigades work in waders on weekends. Ecologists show which sections can flood safely and which paths stay open for cyclists.

Why it matters

Wet deltas store floodwater, filter farm runoff, and give city dwellers a weekend marsh full of sound and colour.
