HD3506 Verbreding kennissysteem Beheer op Maat (BO-11-011.01-054)

The objective of the project is to educate 4-6 agri-environmental cooperatives (or rural collectives involved with management of nature and landscape) to the use the knowledge system “tailor made management for meadow birds”). This online system is meant as an aid for designing and judging management mosaics for meadow birds, an important issue in the new Dutch agri-environmental system. At the end of the training these collectives are able to use the system and to act as ambassadors for and as a information point for other collectives.

If the experiences are favourable, the knowledge system can be used in the regular practice of meadow bird management from 2016 onwards.
