New printing

The 'Green Pearls' was created by Hans Steinfort of platform Groen!Natuurlijk and Rob Wiewel. Since 2018, they have been making the booklet the Green Five, which is now called the 'Green Pearls'. In addition to a new name, the sixth edition has also received a number of new topics. Among others, the Marsh Pearls at the Zoetermeer Lake, Hof van Seghwaert and the meadow bird area in the Meerpolder are now also featured in the booklet. So get on your bike or take a nice walk along all these beautiful spots!
