The television channel TV Midt/Vest was present when the Danish Minister for Energy, Utilities and Climate cut the traditional red ribbon for the new facilities. To the media Jan Bagger Jørgensen, nature guide in Thy, said: “We see a large interest in trips. And we are getting nature with heath and red deer back. So there is a lot to experience”

It is now easier to enter the area. Trips are arranged and new roads, parking areas and watch towers are being established. The improvements of the conditions mean that more people benefit from nature. With the test centre, nature has been prioritised. The original nature, from before the plantation was created 100 years ago, is recreated. Hence, compared to earlier, the area now has a more varied nature with lakes and a larger biodiversity.

Even former sceptics now see the benefits of the test centre. Knud Aage Jørgensen from the village Frøstrup used to be against the wind turbines but that has changed: “I was once against the wind turbines but now I am more positive. We don’t notice them. And it is good for the shop keepers that more people are coming around”.
