2024: Compensatory nature

The adaptation of the Test Centre Høvsøre affects Natura 2000 areas. This means that new natural habitats must be created to compensate for the loss of nature caused by the test center. The establishment of compensatory nature ensures that habitats for wildlife are maintained and developed, despite the presence of wind turbines.

An agricultural area of 34.5 hectares located between Indfjorden and Nissum Fjord, south of Flynder Å, will be included. By converting these agricultural lands, lost foraging areas for swans and geese will be replaced.

A new large wetland of approximately 12 hectares will be established in the area. This wetland will compensate for the loss of habitats for bitterns, marsh harriers, and dabbling ducks.
