Denmark's first national nature park shows thriving ecosystem one year on

One year after its inauguration, Denmark's first national nature park, Fussingø, located in Randers, is undergoing a visible transformation. The Nature Agency reports significant ecological changes within the park's approximately 800 hectares.

Evidence of a revitalized ecosystem is apparent, with increased signs of grazing animals and the natural flow of water returning to small watercourses. The presence of dead trees, left to decay on the forest floor, also signifies the park's progression towards a more wild and natural state, fostering biodiversity.

To celebrate the park's first anniversary, the Nature Agency and the Natural History Museum of Denmark are inviting families to explore Fussingø on June 21. This event offers the public an opportunity to witness firsthand the ongoing development and the return of wild nature.

Naturnationalpark Fussingø is part of a larger initiative involving 15 state-owned natural areas across Denmark, all designated to enhance biodiversity by promoting wild nature.
