Natura Network Agreements |
Organising at least one Green Days event per year | In 2004 we will have approx. 15 excursions by Staatsbosbeheer and also 30 excursions by IVN (volunteergroup) . On these excursions there is always information about NATURA 2000 . |
Promoting the Natura Network Initiative (NNi) at the local level | We will tell our visitors during field excursions about the fact that the site has been designated as a NATURA 2000 area. We also communicate the importance of this fact. |
Site twinning and networking | There is a cooperation agreement with the Biological Station at Zwillbrock (Germany), which is responsible for the management of the adjoining part of the moor on their side of the border. This area is also a Habitat-area. |
Involving local stakeholders in the management planning process - creating a local area partnership | For the reconstruction of the infrastructure for recreation we have installed a broad interest group of participants. They have reached concensus about a reconstruction plan. This plan was carried out in 2003 and benefits also the aims of Natura 2000 |
