/Ilona Smeets/News

Shaping the future with a greener, more sustainable vision with The Green Core. Our 2025 land management strategy is designed to foster environmental harmony, promote biodiversity and build lasting community relationships. This is how!

1. Expanding Our Green Horizons

  • We’re acquiring more hectares of pristine land to expand our footprint and protect nature’s beauty.
  • By decommissioning outdated public game trails, we’re enhancing tranquility, reducing litter, and creating a safer haven for wildlife.

2. Sustainable Forest Management Plan

  • We're proudly working toward official recognition of our land as an "Eco Forest", ensuring its long-term ecological value.
  • Properties over 10 hectares are encouraged to adopt sustainable practices, and for those over 20 hectares, a comprehensive management plan is a must!

3. Comprehensive Protection

  • The land is to be safeguarded with tailored insurance solutions to cover all potential risks and liabilities, ensuring peace of mind for the future.

4. Thriving Plantations for a Greener Tomorrow

Exciting planting initiatives include:

  • 200 multi-year oak trees planted using innovative methods.
  • 120 lush shrubs to enrich the landscape.
  • 0.5 hectares of golden sweet corn fields.
  • 1 hectare dedicated to vibrant, pollinator-friendly perennial plants.
  • 0.5 hectares of aromatic anise.

5. Smart Land Stewardship

We're taking proactive steps to manage our land efficiently:

  • Partnering with a local farmer by offering 1 hectare for free cattle grazing.
  • Installing strategic barriers to prevent unauthorized access and protect wildlife.
  • Enhancing biodiversity with key initiatives such as:
    • Clearing overgrown bamboo and removing outdated fences.
    • Establishing mowing strips to attract birds and small mammals.
    • Allowing designated areas to grow naturally for ecosystem balance.
    • Thoughtfully adjusting mowing patterns to sustain food sources for birds.
    • Carving out accessible paths for visitors.
    • Managing climbing poppy growth to protect our towering trees while preserving biodiversity.

6. Growing Stronger Together

Community is at the heart of our vision. We're forging stronger ties with:

  • Large-scale farmers to create synergies.
  • Local residents to foster a sense of shared responsibility.
  • Key stakeholders, including the deputy mayor, to drive meaningful change.

By implementing these forward-thinking strategies The Green Core is committed to enhancing land management, promoting biodiversity, and fostering a thriving, sustainable community.
