Weather at Beesels Broek.
Beesels Broek derives its value from the transition from moist to dry conditions. Iron- and oxygen-rich seepage water comes to the surface from the terrace edge directly east of the site. On the banks it is wet almost all summer because of springing springs. Through a network of ditches the seepage water disappears from the area via Teutebeek, flowing to the south, and Huilbeek, flowing to the north. In addition to black alder, tree species such as downy birch and common ash also occur.
As the terrain becomes drier, the alder forest becomes more overgrown. Especially brambles then appear. In winter, the siskin is possibly the most striking bird here due to its choral song. The small-scale landscape with its network of unpaved roads, rough roadsides and banks, combined with the extensive use of agricultural land, is very suitable for all kinds of animal species. Larger mammals such as roe deer, fox and squirrel are regularly seen. It is an excellent habitat for the badger, which has several setts in the Beesel area. The wealth of insects is reflected in the presence of various species of grasshoppers and butterflies.
