Because that makes everybody happy, doesn’t it? We work on designing the area in such a way that a wide variety of plants and animals feel at home here. We allow weeds, there are plant bushes at different heights, and we avoid the use of chemicals. For more nature and greenery.
Please pay a visit to Marrit Hoogwater at De Laape in Warten. This is a meeting venue where nature plays a central role. On the grounds, many different spaces are created where insects, birds, and people can feel as comfortable as possible. They also have green roofs that collect rainwater, which is used to flush the toilets.
Biodiversity is an important element in making tourism and hospitality more sustainable. A healthy ecosystem creates attractive landscapes, offers guests richer nature experiences, and contributes to a climate-resilient environment. Increasingly, businesses are designing their grounds to welcome plants and animals: avoiding chemical products, creating space for flowers, using shrubs of different heights, and not mowing the grass too neatly. This creates more life and a unique place for visitors.
In Fryslân, we are committed to restoring biodiversity and aim to halt the declining trend by 2030 at the latest. As an entrepreneur, you can also play a part in this. We zetten ons in om wonen, werken en recreëren in balans te brengen met de natuur, zodat er een samenhangend en gezond (eco)systeem ontstaat.
