Tarup-Davinde Nature Area
22 Tarup - Davinde
The natural environment at Tarup-Davinde has been shaped by years of excavation for raw materials and is constantly changing and expanding. Faaborg-Midtfyn council and Odense council are continuously acquiring new land and recreating the soil layer so that nature can move in again. Therefore, the landscape today is characterized by both newly established natural areas that have just been established, as well as older, well-grown areas.
