Heathlands in East and West-Flanders are particular. They are an intermediate variant of the North-Atlantic Heath (from 'Kempen' to North-Germany) and the Atlantic Heath (England - Brittany). The area of this heathland is very reduced. Today, only small remnants still exist. The critical state of this heath type led to a project supported by the EU. The major heathland area is managed within the nature reserve 'Gulke Putten'. In another reserve, 'Maldegemveld', efforts are devoted to restoration management.
