Bat house

Welcome to bats, antilopes and guinea fowl!

Emerald Acres has put up special bat houses: bats are excellent insect hunter and help to prevent pests. De farm also has special platforms for ducks and other waterfowl. Duiker antilopes come to graze in the orchard, and guinea fowl build their nests underneath the orange trees. These birds are protected and there’s a feeding place near Dominique’s house, Annemarie’s son. it's a lively little ecosystem with a lot of biodiversity!
