Overview
- A total of 837 volunteers reported findings via Tuintelling.nl during the early‑February survey weekend.
- Gelderland led the provincial results with 6,294 molehills and the most participants, while Noord‑Brabant placed second with 4,034 recorded by 96 volunteers.
- Organizers stress that multiple mounds can come from a single animal, so the tally shows distribution and activity rather than precise population size.
- Experts highlight benefits of moles for gardens, including soil aeration, improved drainage, and consumption of slugs and insect larvae.
- The garden survey remains open until 4 April, and the nationwide frog‑spawn count organized by RAVON begins on 28 February.
