PROGRAMME - Beaver Trip to Bavaria

April 6 - 11, 2026

BOOK NOW!

Een studie- inspiratiereis met erkende experts naar Beieren is nu zeer opportuun. De

landelijke overheid is bezig met een nationale bever aanpak. Ook wordt het regionale

beverbeheer in noord Nederland herzien. Het is onafwendbaar dat er inspanningen nodig

zijn om de positieve impact van bevers te optimaliseren, de veiligheid te blijven

waarborgen en de kosten niet onnodig te laten stijgen. Met betrekking tot deze

onderwerpen is van de mensen met wie we in Beieren op reis gaan veel te leren. Steeds

zullen verbanden worden gelegd naar de toepassing in de Nederlandse situatie.
