A visit to the area of the zinc-works at Budel-Dorplein has been undertaken to show the occuring of Micarea confusa Coppins & v.d.Boom which was recently described. Cladonia grayi s.str.. a species known from a few localities in the north eastern part of The Netherlands was found for the first time in the province. The second area. which was visited is ’Het Goor’, eastern of Soerendonk, a reserve with Salix trees in a damp locality, surrounded by Alnus and Betula. The most important discovery was Normandina pulchella, only known from the last century for the province. The third area visited was a heatland with many Pinus stumps. On several places, Cladonia borealis, a species previously only known from the last century in the province, was present.
