Pyromanen
In het duingebied van Bergen en Schoorl zijn tussen 2009 en 2011 honderden hectare duingebied verwoest. De autoriteiten gaan ervan uit dat in het gebied een of meerdere pyromanen actief zijn geweest.
Uitgestrekte velden met zeldzame heide van vijftig tot zestig jaar oud zijn verbrand, met dikke humuslaag en al. Maar de branden hebben gedeeltelijk ook een gunstig effect gehad. Er zijn veel naaldbomen verbrand, onder meer in een bos dat al tien jaar op de nominatie stond om te worden gerooid. Dit bos kan nu worden omgevormd naar open duin, zodat de duinen daarachter kunnen profiteren van de wind van zee, het zout en het zand.

Pyromans
Between 2009 and 2011, hundreds of hectares of dune area were destroyed in the dunes of Bergen and Schoorl. The authorities assume that one or more pyromaniacs have been active in the area.
Vast fields with rare heaths from fifty to sixty years old have been burned, with a thick layer of humus and all. But the fires have also had a beneficial effect in part. Many pine trees have been burned, including in a forest that had been nominated for 10 years to be cleared. This forest can now be transformed into an open dune, so that the dunes behind it can benefit from the wind from the sea, the salt and the sand.
