From January 2010 three municipalities in the Oldambt region in the North-East of the Netherlands merged to form the new municipality of Oldambt. With this merger the work of the ClubWinschoterGroen, has broadened to include the entire new community of Oldambt. To reflect this change they have been renamed as ClubOldambtsterGroen.<\/p>\n
Of course, the goals for the organization remain the same but greater cooperation with other organizations in the Oldambt region, such as nature protection organizations and village societies will become a focus of their work. The merger offers opportunities to promote ecological infrastructures such as connecting nature reserves to the parks and other green areas in the town of Winschoten and other villages. This allows wild animals greater movement between the nature reserves and the parks<\/p>\n
Pilot project for ecological park management<\/strong><\/p>\n A pilot project to ecologically manage a 20,000 square meter park in Winschoten has proven a success. At the start of the project the local population were skeptical about the new way of managing the area as it meant the park was less cultivated (more natural). However thanks to consultation meetings, ClubOldambtsterGroen explained their findings with clear illustrations of the benefits for animals, plants and fungi, together with the inhabitants of Winschoten, stressing the crucial role of ecological relations in providing health and well being. Local inhabitants are now very supportive of the ecological management of the park.<\/p>\n Check the Partner’s page<\/a> on Countdown 2010 website or www.cluboldambtstergroen.eu<\/a> for more information.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" From January 2010 three municipalities in the Oldambt region in the North-East of the Netherlands merged to form the new municipality of Oldambt.
