Ecological Landscape Management

Within Tytsjerksteradiel, we implement ecological landscape management at suitable locations. This type of management is aimed at preserving and enhancing biodiversity and ecological values in public spaces.

We do this by, among other things:

Eco-Friendly Mowing

We mow a few times a year, leaving parts of the grass uncut each time. This provides shelter and habitats for insects and small animals.

Mowing and removal of roadside vegetation

Removing the clippings depletes the soil. This gives a wider variety of plant species the opportunity to grow.

Sowing Flower Meadows

We are planting flower mixes in various spots throughout the villages. This provides food and habitat for insects such as bees and butterflies.

Ecological Pond Cleanup

When maintaining ponds, we always leave some of the vegetation in place so that aquatic animals can find shelter and overwinter there.

Creating brush piles and using logs

In suitable locations, we incorporate branches and tree trunks into the landscape. This creates hiding places and food sources for birds, insects, and mushrooms.

Planting Trees and Shrubs

We deliberately choose species that bear fruit for birds and provide flowers for insects.
