Do you love nature and being outdoors? Do you want to make a difference for nature and the climate? Than you are the volunteer we are looking for! The visitor center ‘Landschap De Liereman’ is located near Turnhout, a small city in the north of Belgium. The center is connected to ‘Landschap De Liereman’ one of the oldest recognized nature reserves in Belgium and operates under the flag of Natuurpunt, the largest nature organization of Flanders. We stand up for nature and biodiversity and strive to protect open space and the quality of the environment.
