Peat ponds and polders form a unique landscape in the Twiske, a large recreation area and nature reserve in the northwest of the Netherlands. Polders are low-lying pieces of reclaimed land protected by dikes, and roughly 4,000 of them exist in the Netherlands. Located just north of Amsterdam, the Twiske is home to a wealth of reed and water birds, foxes, ermines, and other wildlife.
