About this book

Language: Dutch

The Biesbosch is natural park in the Netherlands and one of the last extensive areas of freshwater tidal wetlands in Northwestern Europe. Over the last few centuries it was slowly converted to polders, but nowadays the river and tide have been allowed back and nature is returning – and all this very close to an ever-expanding Randstad, the economical hub of the country. Here, ospreys hover over meandering gullies, and majestic white-tailed eagles chase off groups of geese. Beavers construct dams, and it is only a matter of time before the otter and the sturgeon return.

De Nieuwe Biesbosch is a beautiful tribute to this unique piece of recovering river delta. Thomas van der Es, better known as Warden Thomas, shares his experiences working here in a lively style, while Stef den Ridder contributes breathtaking drawings.

Summary in Dutch:
In de afgelopen eeuwen werd de Biesbosch langzaam polderland. Nu krijgen de rivieren weer de ruimte en mag de natuur haar gang gaan – en dat pal onder een uitpuilende Randstad. Biddende visarenden hangen boven meanderende geulen en de majestueuze zeearend verjaagt een groep ganzen. Bevers bouwen aan hun burchten en het is wachten op de terugkeer van de otter en de steur.

De Nieuwe Biesbosch is een schitterend eerbetoon aan dit unieke stuk herstellende rivierdelta. Thomas van der Es, beter bekend als ‘Boswachter Thomas’, deelt zijn ervaringen in aanstekelijke stijl. Stef den Ridder maakte adembenemende tekeningen. Gegarandeerd urenlang lees- en kijkplezier!
- veranderingen in de Biesbosch prachtig in beeld gebracht
- aansprekende belevenissen van Boswachter Thomas
- inclusief droomsoorten als zalm, bijeneter en otter
