Samenvatting

As part of the “Ecological main structure” the province of Gelderland strives to make the migration for ungulates possible on the Veluwe. Two wildlife crossings have been build, but are not yet operational because the fence around the National Park Hoge Veluwe is still in place. The fence will be lowered at the place of the wildlife crossings. Moreover the National Park has concerns about the effects that free migration of ungulates will have on Natura 2000 species, Natura 2000 habitats and on the forest regeneration / wood production. The goal of the study was compiling a method to inventory the damage and to form a baseline for the multiannual monitoring program. However, the inventory of 2011 did not provide enough data to form a firm baseline and the developed method did not provided all the required data
