This summer Wild Eindhoven is proposing a different way of being in . A different perspective to a city, immersed in its blue and green.

I am partenering up with Paula van Loon, from Supcoach to bring you a Stand Up Paddle experience! 🏄‍♀️ We combine the best of both worlds: supping & mindfulness combined with a mini wildlife safari.

No experience is needed, as Paula will instruct you on the basics. And it's really easy to learn and start paddeling!

The first event is happening this Wednesday 7 June. Around 19h we meet, have a short welcome and explanations, then we go on the quiet waters of the . It is a perfect way to relax during the week, and June is a great month to see wild animals and plants from the water!

If you are interested, more info and registration can be found here: https://www.wild-eindhoven.com/event-details/sup-experience-mindfulness-wildlife-on-the-dommel-june

The other two upcoming dates are Friday 7 July and Friday 9 September. They are already online on Wild Eindhoven website as well.

This is an experience where all is included: a board and the paddle, instructions and guidance by Paula, short mindfulness exercises, a wildlife safari, and a snack and drink midway.

We hope to meet you there, to relax and discover nature on the water!

Until then, wishing you some great early summer days!

What an SUPer adventure on the water it was! 🌊And an amazingly different way to see and feel the city...

Immersed in the sounds of the reed warblers, calling from both sides of the river. Witnessing little baby grebes already swimming along with their parents. Picking and smelling some fresh water mint growing on the river margins. And yes, once more, we had a lucky encounter with two of the most famous river residents: the kingfisher and the beaver! 🦫😃

All of this during last Wednesday's Mindfulness & Wildlife Stand Up Paddle experience, one of the best ways to end your workday.

My favorite moment happened when we were laying down in our board, letting ourselves be taken by the soft current of the river. I was watching the many swifts flying high above, listening to the birds singing hidden in the vegetation, feeling the soft breeze on my skin. Just letting nature exist around us.

Thank you all who joined for your energy, enthusiasm and stories! You were such a nice group of different nationalities and backgrounds.

I'm already looking forward to next month's SUP experience! 🔹Coming Wednesday 7 June at 19:00, we'll meet on the water and look for wildlife! Look for more information in Wild Eindhoven's website.

Everyone is welcome to join. No previous experience is needed at all, Paula (Supcoach) will help you with all the way!

(And after June, the following dates are Friday 7 July and Friday 8 September.)

The weekend is over and we're all back to work. But that doesn't mean we can't take a break in the middle of the week and relax in nature!

How does ending your day floating along the calm waters of the river Dommel on a stand up paddle (SUP) sound to you?

Like the idea? 🌊 You can still join us this Wednesday 24 May, at the end of the day (17:45) for a Mindfullness & Wildlife SUP Experience!

You can meet us straight after work!
🔷 We start at a handy location in the south of Eindhoven, near the Genneper Parken, next to the High Tech Campus Eindhoven, and less than 10 min away from ASML .
🔷 We provide you with a safe place to store your belogings.
🔷 You don't need any previous experience on a stand up paddle: it's pretty easy to learn and Paula from Supcoach will teach you all you need.

Chickw**d (Vogelmuur) is known as a stubborn w**d in our gardens. 🌱 So... why not eat it, if you can't beat it?! The small leaves and flowers give off a fresh taste and are very suitable for salads.

The for the Water Boards (Waterschapen) 🌊 in the Netherlands are tomorrow, March 15th. 👉 *Everyone* living in the country can vote, including internationals.

and surroudings are included in the De Dommel. With our vote, we internationals can also help to shape policy and practice about how water is managed in our region in important things such as drinking water, sewage treatment (and associated taxes), managing groundwater levels for nature and agriculture.

(For more about it you can read my other post here: https://www.facebook.com/photo?fbid=869948760712745&set=a.738948240479465 )

A few weeks ago I accompanied Mado Ruys on an interview for Radio 4 Brainport. I talked about the importance of water, the challenges ahead with longer draughs and sudden rains, and why nature and farming should not be seen as in conflict. And of course why voting for the waterboard elections matters!

You can listen to it here: https://open.spotify.com/episode/3iMnjskeyvoJfd46MBAJgf?si=49a68e7ce7a148be

If you want to have a quick and easy idea on who to vote for, you can also use the online voting guide (stemwijzer) available here: https://dommel.mijnstem.nl/ (also in Dutch, but mostly easy to follow).

See you at the voting locations!

The elections for the Water Boards (Waterschapen) 🌊 in the Netherlands are coming up: on March 15th, 👉 everyone 👈 living in the Netherlands (yes, including / ) can vote!

And why do I care about this?

The Waterboards determine, and often execute the policies for management in this country. From making sure there is enough drinking water available, to regulating the groundwater level for farming and , to how natural rivers and canals should be. And all of this has a direct implication on and .

Some examples (from an original post by Trefpunt Groen Eindhoven):

🌊Water boards ensure that we are protected from water, for example by building and caring for dikes. This is important, especially given the increasing rise in water levels.

🌧️ The Netherlands also wants to retain water where it can, so that during times of low rainfall, we still have a supply in the soil. That helps biodiversity.

🚿 The water boards are also tasked with ensuring that sewage water is treated. Our sewage water is treated at the treatment plant on Van Oldebarnelveltlaan.

🦫 This purified water ends up in De Dommel and then flows into the Meuse. The cleaner the water in De Dommel and other rivers, the more flora and fauna we can expect.

Tomorrow 2 March, from 20:00 in the Tu/e Auditorium, there is a debate with the main parties running up for election for "our" Waterboard: Waterschap De Dommel. The debate is in 🇳🇱 Dutch, however...

There is an event in English coming up as well, more info about that soon.

🇬🇧 In the meantime, there is some information in here: https://www.dommel.nl/information-in-english . and here: https://waternatuurlijk.nl/de-dommel/what-does-a-water-board-do

You can also use the online voting guide (stemwijzer) available here: https://dommel.mijnstem.nl/ (also in Dutch, but mostly easy to follow).

So, are you curious about the tasks and challenges of Waterschap De Dommel at this time?
In the upcoming water board elections on March 15, YOU can cast a vote for a party that you think best represents your idea for water management!

How do animals find 💞? How do they find a proper place to live/nest and and choose a right partner?

That was the motto of today's Valentine's Day at the High Tech Campus Eindhoven! 💚

Today, I learned something new: Although the most common name in Dutch for Jackdaws (first picture) is Kauw, they are also called "torenkraai" - tower crows!

And apparently every church tower in Eindhoven and surroundings has a jackdaw colony living under its tower's roofs!

This interesting bit was on IVN Veldhoven Eindhoven Vessem article in GrootEindhoven. :)

On Sunday 19 February escape the city and join me for a longer (picnic included) in two of Eindhoven's best natural areas: the Stratumse Heide and Gijzenrooise Zegge.

🟢 https://www.wild-eindhoven.com/event-details/wild-escape-i

We will walk across three different landscapes with lots of wildlife to discover! The home of black woodpeckers, crested t**s, goshawks and many more wild animals.

We might encounter the mighty Highland cattle, see falcons soaring above us, hear singing forest birds and find the first wild flowers blooming.

I am already looking forward to it and I hope you will join me! 😀

On the cold morning of past Sunday a very nice group gathered for our along the Dommel and the Klotputten. 🥾 And we were presented with a Winter landscape indeed! ❄⛄

Some of the and highlights we encountered:

🦆 great cormorants (🇳🇱 aalscholver) diving on the lake and hunting underwater for fishes

🦅 buzzards soaring right above our heads!

🐦a flock of lapwings (🇳🇱 kievits) resting on the grounds of the Klotputten nature reserve

The snow, ice and mud on the paths made up for some challenging stretches along the way; luckily, everyone came prepared! The shared hot tea and coffee 🍵 also helped.

And everyone seemed pretty happy in the end! 😃 Thanks to all who joined, it was a pleasure to have shown you this natural side of .

Hi
I am already looking forward to this Sunday's along the Dommel to the Klotputten! 🦫 🦆

We will likely hear (and see?) beautiful kingfishers calling along the river and meet large flocks of wintering songbirds.

Along the way, we will also look for signs of 🦫 activity, animal tracks in the mud 🐾 and enjoy the Winter landscape. ❄️

On my first nature walk of 2023, I plan to follow the river Dommel looking for signs of the famous 🦫, listen to bright blue kingfishers, encounter various duck species 🦆 and other waterfowl (like the great cormorant in the photo), and visit 's newest nature reserve: the Klotputten!

It's this Sunday 22 January, starting at 10am (it's not too early, you can make it ;) )

Also important: no rain on the forecast! It should be a dry and cold winter's day ❄️

A temporary resident: Redwings (🇳🇱 koperwink) are songbirds which are only in the Netherlands during autumn and winter. ❄️

🐦 They breed in northern latitudes and come all the way from the far north of Europe to look for better weather and more food in the western and southern parts of the continent. During this period they also live in ’s city parks and have been seen here since mid-October!

🫐They love gorging on berries, which give them lots of energy to withstand the cold. Their size (up to 24cm long), their beautiful song🎵 and their group behaviour make redwings quite noticeable. That, and the copper-red colour in their “armpits” and upper flanks (from where this species got its common name), which is visible when they are perched and quite obvious when they open their wings.

Have you ever spotted a Redwing? What other do you usually come across in your winter walks? I'm curious, let me know in the comments!

Introducing... WILD ESCAPES! 🦊

I am thrilled to announce a new type of nature walks for 2023.

I decided it was time to also organize longer nature walks, in nature areas close to Eindhoven (for now), focused on the wildlife we can find there! And with a light meal included, picnic style.

Three Wild Escapes are being planned so far:

🦅 The first one in February, a half-day, 10km nature hike in the Stratumse Heide and Gijzenrooi. Three different landscapes - woodland, heather and fields - where we will look for black woodpeckers, crested t**s, goshawks and much more wildlife.

🐺 In July or August, in the Stabrechtse Heide, the rumored home of the wolf in Brabant and the summer residence for many birds-of-prey!

🐗 A hike in the Groote Heide in October, where wild boars roam and foxes and badgers have their dens.

Keep an eye on this page for dates and details. Or better yet, subscribe to our newletter to receive these announcements first-hand!

I am definitively excited with them, I hope you are too!

During the last weeks of 2022 I've been busy preparing new events for this year! 🦔

Some 2022 favorites will take place again - such as the 🌿 Wild Foraging Walk and the 🌊 SUP Experience. I'm also preparing nature walks in new locations and looking for partnerships for more outdoor workshops.

It's still ongoing work, but the good news is: the first events are already online! 🤩

➡️ https://www.wild-eindhoven.com/weekend-nature-walks

🦫 We will start the year following the trail of the bever along the Dommel, and looking for wintering wildfowl at the Klotputten. It's Sunday 22 January in the morning.

🐦 In April, the 2nd edition of the Birdwatching for Beginners outdoor workshop! Great if you what to start birdwatching or learn about the birds of your city.

Some other events on the agenda don't have dates yet. But if you register to Wild Eindhoven's you will be the first to know when they are scheduled!

Finally, I'd also like to ask: Do you have a suggestion for an event? I'll be glad to hear it! Leave it in the comments or send me a message.

During winter, many 🐦 turn to urban areas to escape the harshness of the weather.

Tiny goldcrests and firecrests (the smallest birds in Europe!) temporarily leave their forests and flee to city parks, looking for food and warmth.

Large flocks of siskins and chaffinches look for leaf buds and leftover seeds on the trees; they can also be seen bathing in rain puddles. Redwings hang on shrubs and ivys picking berries.

Many other birds species can be seen in our urban parks. 🌲 Which one will you see during your next walk?

The holiday break is great to take some time to go out for a walk. Even if it's cold or cloudy that shouldn't stop us from going outside, there is a lot to discover in nature!

🌲The trees show us their leafless silhouettes, take a moment to admire how different they are from each other. Look closely to the color and texture of its bark.

🐦 Hear the robins singing from their low perches, a beautiful melody that fills up the air.

❄️ On frosty mornings, go for a stroll in your nearest park and take some time to admire details frozen in time.

And remember, there is always hot chocolate to warm up when you return home! ☕

Happy Winter nature walks!
