Address to reach the memorial :Route du Lion 1815, 1420 Braine-l’Alleud Scroll down to make your trip to Waterloo a worth visit: Wellington Museum Wellington Museum is a beautiful museum that explains well the events that happened before and during the Battle of Waterloo on the Wellington side. The Wellington Museum is not very large but has many objects and iconographic material related to the Battle of Waterloo. The museum was erected within the original headquarters where Wellington’s Duke Arthur Wellesley established his headquarters the day before the battle. There are interesting relics and a clear reconstruction, through wall panels, of the phases of the battle. The comments of the audioguide are sober and very clear. The collection of lithographs and engravings illustrating the various aspects of the Battle of Waterloo is rare. It’s amazing experience. To be in the rooms where Lord Wellington spent his time is so real. This place is highly recommended. Sonian Forest This place is perfect for nature lovers. The Sonian Forest or Sonian Woods is a 4,421-hectare forest in the northeast of Waterloo and stretches out all the way to the southeast edge of Brussels. Forest consists of tall oak trees and beaches, with several trees that are more than 200 years old. Inside the forest is the Bosmuseum Jan van Ruusbroec or Musée de la Forêt, which presents displays about the flora, fauna, history of the forest. You will have a great nature walk and sight beautiful beaches here. Memorial 1815 Memorial 1815 is an incredible place full of history , the calm you feel on these fields are almost a reminder of the huge battle between Napoleon and Wellington. You can discover every single detail of the 1815’s war in this underground, really modern, museum. In the entrance you can find a souvenir shop and then you start your experience in the museum. The skeleton of the soldier of Waterloo is one of the highlights of the collection. There is also a 4D movie made for the second centenary of the Battle of Waterloo, in 2015, it’s so strange yet so fascinating! The museum showcases articles/history of the Waterloo war, life size images of infantry, cavalry, weapons etc. the soil once drenched in blood and corpses is now filled in green. Hope it remains the same for a very long time! Church of Saint Joseph The Church of Saint Joseph of Waterloo is an 18th-century Belgian church in Waterloo dedicated to Saint Joseph. It’s a historical church with a beautiful altar.The church has been renovated recently. For people interested in history. The bulb may be impressive, the building especially gives a great impression that it falls into ruins. Everything is beautiful, be it stained glass, columns, sculptures and so on. There are several memorial plaques to officers who fell at the Battle of Waterloo inside the building. The church is in French baroque classicism style, while the former presbytery has a beautiful neo-classical façade. Hougoumont Farm Hougoumont Farm is an absolutely brilliant place. For any history enthusiast this is a must-see. Not only was it pivotal in the battle the museum helps you understand the battle and there is a fantastic audiovisual show in the main barn. The printed guide which you get at the desk explains everything in good detail and the audio visual presentation is excellent. The staff are friendly and helpful. Definitely would return to this site when next in Belgium. The whole experience is an eye opener historic event, Waterloo battle. It left us rethinking many thinks about how humans kill others for power and control. The Panorama panorama The Panorama is a big, round building to the north of the Lion’s Mound and holds a panoramic painting that depicts the battle of Waterloo. The action-packed circular art of the battle scenes. You view it from inside, an excellent audio guide and 3D film to help you understand across a foreground littered with fallen helmets, broken-down fences, dead horses, and the odd corpse. There’s a rumbling soundtrack of battle cries, bagpipes, cannon fire, and thundering hooves. Within the newly renovated Visitor Center, organizers have combined the use of technology to explain events leading up to the battle. .

    State Forestry in Belgium Since the End of the Eighteenth Century

    / CHAPTER 3 State Forestry in Belgium since the End of the Eighteenth Century Pierre-Alain Tallier, Hilde Verboven, Kris Vandekerkhove, Hans Baeté and Kris Verheyen Forests are a key element in the structure of the landscape. Today they cover about 692,916 hectares, or about 22.7 per cent of Belgium. Unevenly distributed over the country, they constitute one of Belgium’s rare natural resources. For centuries, people have shaped these forests according to their needs and interests, resulting in the creation of man- aged forests with, to a greater or lesser extent, altered structure and species composition. Belgian forests have a long history in this respect. For millennia, they have served as a hideout, a place of worship, a food storage area and a material reserve for our ancestors. Our predecessors not only found part of their food supply in forests, but used the avail- able resources (herbs, leaves, brooms, heathers, beechnuts, acorns, etc.) to feed and to make their flocks of cows, goats and sheep prosper. Above all, forests have provided people with wood – a natural and renewable resource. As in many countries, depending on the available trees and technological evolutions, wood products have been used in various and multiple ways, such as heating and cooking (firewood, later on charcoal), making agricultural implements and fences (farmwood), and constructing and maintaining roads. Forests delivered huge quan- tities of wood for fortification, construction and furnishing, pit props, naval construction, coaches and carriages, and much more. Wood remained a basic material for industrial production up until the begin- ning of the nineteenth century, when it was increasingly replaced by iron, concrete, plastic and other synthetic materials.

Final report Tim Van de Voorde Frank Canters Jonathan Cheung-Wai Chan December 2010 Cartography and GIS Research Group Department of Geography Vrije Universiteit Brussel Pleinlaan 2, 1050 Brussel SUMMARY The Ordinance on the Conservation of Nature requires the development of a “Nature Plan”, which provides objective guidance for nature policy on the state of the environment in the Brussels Capital Region (BCR). This requires knowledge on the distribution, typology and quality of urban green spaces and their changes through time. This report presents the results of the project “ Actualisatie van de kartering en analyse van de evolutie van de onbebouwde (groene) gebieden in het Brussels Hoofdstedelijk Gewest (ActuaEvol/09)” . The goal of this project was to investigate the potential of high and medium resolution multispectral remote sensing for mapping urban green, for analysing the spatial pattern of urban green (fragmentation/isolation of vegetation patches), and for monitoring changes in green coverage through time. The project consists of three parts; the first two parts are discussed in this document: Part I : Mapping of non-built (green) spaces based on recent high resolution remote sensing data. Part II : Analysis of the evolution of non-built (green) spaces in and around the Brussels Capital Region over the last decades.
