| Natura Network Agreements |
| Organising at least one Green Days event per year | We will give a special NATURA 2000 excursion on the Green Days |
| Promoting Natura 2000 at the local level | The
part of Naardermeer within the quay is accessible by ferry excursions. The
number of visitors taking part in the ferry excursions now is 8000 a year,
which in the years ahead is expected to grow to 15000 a year. For the participants
there is a informationcentre in the north-western part of Naardermeer. The extension of the region with the buffer zone has resulted in more recreational possibilities. E.g. a 17.5 km long walking tour was created in 1998. This tour leads the hiker around the lake of Naardermeer, across the quay, through the buffer zone and then through the bog forest. The bird life in Naardermeer can be watched in several places from an observation hut or tower. Along the trail there are information panels. The part of the trail through the bog forest can also be covered separately along a distanced of 5 kilometres. Some twenty or thirty thousand hikers and a multiple amount of hikers visit the area each year. |
| Involving local stakeholders in the management planning process - creating a local area partnership | The local waterboard has its own management plan for Naardermeer and surrounding area concerning waterquality. The province of Noord-Holland will produce a management plan for Naardermeer and other nature reserves concerning different types of nature.There are no other stakeholders involved concerning management plans. |
| Branding Natura 2000 | At the moment we are not but we are interested in carrying the logo and so on. Next year we hope to build a new centre for visitors and it is our wish to cary the logo on new signs etcetera. We find it difficult to find technical information about the logo. We like to learn more about branding local products. |
