HEERDE - The forest rangers of Geldersch Landschap & Kasteelen are organizing a wildlife observation event on Saturday, May 2, 2026, at the De Dellen estate. The De Dellen nature reserve is home to many red deer and wild boars. At the start of the excursion, the forest ranger will inform participants about the animals and their habitat. Once at the wildlife observation post, it is important to be as quiet as possible so that the animals remain unaware of our presence. You will stay at the wildlife observation post until sunset, waiting for the wildlife to appear. It may take a while for the animals to show themselves; patience is an important quality during this excursion. This gives you the chance to enjoy the beautiful surroundings and the tranquility of nature. Hopefully, you’ll get the chance to see some of these majestic red deer and wild boars! Advance online reservation is required.
Time: starts at 7:30 p.m. Duration: approx. 2.5 hours.
Participation fee: €15.00 per person, €7.50 per person for donors upon presentation of a valid GLK donor card. Tip from the forest ranger: bring binoculars.
Please note:
Wild animals are unpredictable; their presence is not guaranteed. To avoid disturbing the animals, it is necessary to remain silent, turn off your phone, and refrain from taking photos. Wear dark, quiet, and warm clothing and avoid wearing perfume. The walk to the wildlife observation post takes about 20 minutes (one way) and partly follows a narrow, unpaved, and uneven path. It will be twilight or dark on the way back. It is therefore important that you are sure-footed. Participants must be 12 years or older; dogs are not allowed.
