European bison and Exmoor ponies set to arrive in Pijnven in 2028

A 500-hectare area of Pijnven forest in Hechtel-Eksel is being prepared for European bison and a group of wild horses, likely Exmoor ponies. Fencing is planned for spring 2027, with the animals expected to arrive in spring 2028. The project will give natural processes a bigger role, while the large grazers help maintain open spaces and create a richer variety of habitats. Their impact will be closely monitored, and guided visits may be possible in the future; an information meeting is planned for 9 December.
