Project summary

Edit project overview to modify the project summary.


Het huidig beeld van de Buurserbeek is een langzaam stromende, sterk genormaliseerde beek. De beek ligt voor een deel in agrarisch gebied maar voor een belangrijk deel stroomt de beek ook door bossen of natuurgebieden (Bijvoorbeeld Buurserzand en de bossen ten oosten van Haaksbergen) of is begroeid met houtige gewassen op de oevers. Langs nagenoeg de gehele beek ligt aan weerszijden een 4m breed onderhoudspad en de beek ligt over de gehele lengte tussen kades of hoge gronden. Stroomopwaarts van de Twenteroute heeft de beek heeft nagenoeg het gehele jaar afvoer en op de meeste plekken is de stroomsnelheid nu voldoende voor stroming-minnende soorten. Stroomafwaarts van de Twenteroute valt de afvoer ’s zomers grotendeels weg waardoor de beek stil komt te staan. Het onderhoud is nog intensief op de tracés benedenstrooms van Braambrug. De Buurserbeek voldoet nog niet aan de gestelde ecologische doelen. De beek is te diep en er is te weinig structuurvariatie. Nutriëntgehalten zijn ook nog te hoog in de Buurserbeek. Dit wordt voornamelijk veroorzaakt door afwenteling vanuit Duitsland.

Binnen de kades heeft de beek ruimte voor vrije meandering. De beek is ondiep en breed en heeft een afwisseling van zandbanken en stroomkuilen met dood hout en plaatselijk een weelderige vegetatie van water- en oeverplanten. Het grootste deel, ca. 80% van het beektraject is bebost. De Buurserbeek is geheel optrekbaar voor vis.
