    The Graelijksheidsduinen are grazed by Scottish Highlanders. Some Konik horses also help with the
    Grafaliteitsduinen. The grazing
    in these areas ensures varied plant growth, in one place the vegetation is kept short and the soil lean and in places where a lot of artificial fertilizer is used
    In places where a lot of artificial fertilizer is used, plants that like nutrient-rich soil can grow.

    The Grafeleikheijdsduinen area was once used for water extraction. When water was withdrawn in 1982, a beautiful nature reserve with dune lakes was created. Large areas of grazing were laid out, drinking water wells and military remnants were removed, and unnecessary fences were dismantled. Scottish Highlanders and Konik horses graze in the closed area. In addition, an observation hut, a lookout point and an educational trail have been set up.
