The grazing zone of the forest in Buggenhout will now be maintained by 4 new Hereford cattle. The Galloway cows that previously grazed there were too few. They are now moving to Aalst to join a local herd.

Tidal Secrets #2 – Wal-Zwijn Shelter, Hamme
Highlight • Mountain Hut
The passer-by is invited to step inside the capsule. It is a sheltered resting place to listen and look at the surrounding mudflats and salt marshes. Because the woven wood is alive, the artwork grows and evolves with the seasons.

The shelter is located in the tidal landscape of the Wal-Zwijn flood area near Hamme. This sculpture is slightly hidden from the dike. It is a cocoon of 3 by 3 meters. The exterior is made of corten steel, while the interior is fully finished with woven, living hazel and willow branches. The passer-by is invited to step inside the capsule.
