Basic map Nature Network Brabant, Ecological connection zone (line file)

Ecological connecting zones (EVZ) are areas or structures that should enable connection, migration and exchange of species between nature reserves. They are often long stretched wet and/or dry landscape elements along dikes, watercourses, roads, rail and waterways.

This geographic dataset contains the evz as a line object with information about its realisation and is called the base map NNB/EVZ (NNB = Natuur Netwerk Brabant). The realisation information comes from water boards. The location of the line objects follows the decision-making in the Ordinance of the search areas for ecological connecting zones (with exceptions in the water board Brabantse Delta see below). These search areas are flat objects and form a zone of 25 meters on both sides of the evz line object. This geographic dataset is based on decision-making of the Space Regulation.
