Mini symposium on Biodiversity.
As an advisor to the VHR, Rob Borst has made a first step towards the role of the roe deer in Dutch nature. Can the roe deer be an indication of the state of biodiversity? What are the arguments for managing the roe deer in the long term? Rob will kick off the symposium. The panel includes

• Marjan Minnesma, Director of Urgenda (with the vision on climate forest from Urgenda),
• Jan Griekspoor (with the vision of Staatsbosbeheer on roe deer management) and
• Sander Wurfbain, vice chairman of the Federation of Private Land Ownership. (the vision from the private landowners on the deer management and the role of the wolf).

The moderator is René Leegte.

After this, those present will have the opportunity to ask questions to the panel.

To conclude the mini symposium, the raffle of a thermal imaging camera
(Lahoux Spotter Mini worth €800), which Lahoux Optics has made available for the lustrum. A fantastic gesture from Lahoux!

16.00 hrs-18.00 hrs Festive closing and drinks
During the festive drink, the signing of the book “Het Ree, van binnen en buiten” and thanks to the writers and those involved will take place. The book “The deer, inside and out” has now proven to be a great success. The reviews were also positive. All magazines of the associations involved contain only enthusiastic reactions. You can buy another copy on the spot, or have your copy signed.

The national board emphasizes the wish that members will be present in large numbers at this special general meeting and the 14th lustrum celebration!

See you on Saturday, June 4, 2022!
