Control in the nature reserve: motorcycles and quads endanger flora!

Control in the nature reserve: motorcycles and quads endanger flora!

Borkenberge, Deutschland - Coesfeld (ots)

A dramatic meeting on the former Borkenberge military training area! On Saturday, November 2nd, 2024, the authorities did everything they can to catch motorcycle and quad drivers in a fresh act. It is no secret that the area, now a nature reserve protected by the DBU (German Federal Environmental Foundation), has become a hotspot for illegal journeys.

This explosive control campaign follows a number of incidents, including a scandalous incident on September 14, 2024, when three cross motorcycles unabashed the site. Despite the forbidden use, which can be clearly seen by fresh tire traces, the control remained without successful arrest. Anyone who thought that the wild drivers would withdraw will be deceived!

dangerous circumstances

The dangers in this area are real! Driving the nature reserve is not only prohibited for nature conservation reasons; Earlier tragic accidents, such as the fatal incident in 2021, also show the risks. Even sharp explosives from the military past have already been found. Nevertheless, brave crossers always dare to use the dangerous terrain. Fortunately, it has so far failed to do so that such a subject was fatal to one of the "daring drivers".

"The ignorance of the traffic molesters must stop!", Asks the Lüdinghausen Ordnungsamt. Participants of the Federal Forest and the Lower Nature Conservation Authority were also active in the controls. Violations of the ban on the driveway can quickly become expensive for the unruly people, with punishments of at least 1,000 euros in the event of initial offenses. The law speaks a clear language!
