Flood plains expedition
Do you know what a flood plain is? You can find these water meadows at many places in the Netherlands: our country has about 37 of these flood plains. You can describe them as an outlet valve between the river and the dike, which floods at high water. This ensures that we are as well prepared as possible for the rise in sea levels due to climate change. During this expedition a professional guide will tell you all the ins and outs by beautiful stories and various water experiments.
