Mammal excursion in the Duivelshof

Mammal excursion in the Duivelshof

For everyone who wants to (re)learn more about the mammals in Twente. For example, where and how do deer, foxes, hares, squirrels and (bats) mice live? And how can you spot them yourself (faster) from now on? During this wonderful nature excursion you will look for their tracks and try to see them. A pair of binoculars is therefore recommended. While walking you will learn more about mammals in their natural environment. The beautiful Duivelshof is a beautiful varied nature reserve of Natuurmonumenten (between De Lutte and Losser). It consists of heathland, wooded banks, herb-rich grassland and mixed forest. Almost all species of mammals living in Twente can be found there. The walk will be guided by IVN nature guides on Sunday, March 16, 2025. One must first register via the website of IVN Oldenzaal-Losser e.o., because participation is limited.
