From Low Peat to High Efficiency

After Triple E had demonstrated in the Head and Tail study that the establishment of a Weerribben Wieden national park would mean a strong boost for the regional economy, the following question arose: is linking the Rottige Meente nature reserve to this national park by means of a corridor an economic opportunity for the region? That was the question of the Weststellingwerf municipality. The study shows that the combination of the construction of the connection zone and the expansion of the Weerribben Wieden National Park (including the connection zone) is attractive for the region. Particularly because it creates employment for target groups for which it is important. The purchase of some agricultural land for the benefit of nature has of course been included in the consideration.
