A beautiful green milestone for the neighborhood!
Last Monday, a magnificent native Small-leaved Lime was planted in the park between Hermaat and Zanderskamp. A gift from IVN Oude IJsselstreek to mark their 50th anniversary.*
Councilor Birgit van Veldhuizen-van Oort planted the tree alongside Herman Obbink (chairman of IVN) and Gerard van der Kamp (working group Graafschap). A symbolic and sustainable gesture. This Small-leaved Lime will have plenty of space to grow into an impressive focal point that will contribute to biodiversity, shade, cooling, and a healthy living environment for years to come.* IVN, the Institute for Nature Education and Sustainability, has been a Dutch non-profit organization since 1960, dedicated to education and participation in green living environments and sustainable lifestyles.
