Celebrating 30 years
This year marks exactly 30 years since the Biesbosch received national park status. Under the title De Biesbosch, B&B full of life, we invite residents, visitors and press to come and celebrate this anniversary with us.
Box full of memories
Central to the celebration of 30 years of National Park De Biesbosch are 30 stories about characteristic animals and plants in the Biesbosch. Together they tell the story of the B & B full of life. From osprey to willow barkstone and from tidal snail to spindle otter: there is a story to be told about all the selected species that is unknown to most Biesbosch visitors.
Movie as seen by eagle eyes
The film takes the viewer through all seasons starring the osprey and with a nice supporting role for the bald eagle. In 15 minutes the film shows both above and below water how important the freshwater tidal system is for all kinds of plants and animals.
The wetland dynamics in the Biesbosch are the basis of this valuable ecosystem. With this, the film fits perfectly with the theme of the Biesbosch as a B&B full of life.
Forester Harm Blom of Staatsbosbeheer will explain the film in his own expressive way.
