Country reserve Stippelberg (in the neighbourhood of  Rips, Milheeze) The Stippelberg is a former heath land. Between 1893-1935 this area was cultivated and were completely planted with Scots pines. Natuurmonumenten nowadays is slowly re-creating this forest into a natural forest. The Stippelberg is cut at an oblique angle caused by a fault, a side vein of the Peel Fault. This fault can be recognized by the visible differences in altitude which is created by movement between two plates. Westward of this fault lie old wandering inland dunes called ´stippels´. The reserve thanks its name to these dunes.
	Deurnese Peel, Mariapeel (in the neighbourhood of  Griendtsveen, Helenaveen) A large wildlife swamp with bell-heather and ling heather fields, alternating with peat pools and pits originating from human digging activities. The groundwater level is now brought back to normal, so that the most important creator of peat –bog moss– can grow again.
	Nationaal Park De Groote Peel (in the neighbourhood of  Asten, Ospel) The nature reserves in ‘De Peel’ are the remains of an enormous peat moor area.  This peat moor was never extracted, so what is left is unspoilt nature with great lakes, heath land, plains with bog plants and sand ridges.
Strabrechtse Heide (in the neighbourhood of  Mierlo), Lieropse Heide Heather dominates the land of the Strabrechtse Heide. This is the largest heath area of North Brabant. From mid August vast plains turn purple as 'ling' or common heather comes into flower. Today sheep farming continue to maintain the landscape. The sheep are helpful for pruning the heather and keeping it clear from grass and young shrub or tree seedlings.
