I chose this 'Image of nature' because I grew up in this reserve, the only tingh that separetes my home from this reserve is a little stream. The official name for this kind of nature is Alder swamp forest or in my language Elzenbroekbos. It's a very interresting form of nature because the largest area of it is "planted" with Alder (Alnus glutinosa) ans Willow (Salix alba, caprea, ...)the main reason why it is an swamp forest and not al normal forest, is because it is situated in an stream valley, and the Belgian - European goverment is using it as an flood sensitive buffer. So that is 7months of the year filled with water.
