Åmosen, Ulkestrup Lyng
Åmosen in Sjælland is one of the few remaining raised bogs in Denmark, and one of the country's largest continuous lowland and marsh areas. Givskud Zoo Naturfond has donated 10,000 DKK to the Danish Nature Fund, which with the donation has purchased 100 hectares of land in the raised bog, which will now be allowed to grow as natural wilderness forever. Here, birds, mammals, and insects can live in peace in an untouched area.
