Burgemeester en wethouders van de gemeente De Fryske Marren doen alsof slechts vier 'boze buren' bezwaar maken tegen het volgooien van de natuurplas/karperplas in het buurtschap Eesterga met negen hectare zonnepanelen.
Woon je in De Fryske Marren en ben je met ons van mening dat die natuurplas behouden moet blijven, dan is er nog één kans om de gemeenteraad duidelijk te maken dat er breed verzet bestaat tegen deze industrialisatie.
Teken vandaag nog de petitie op behoudnatuurplaseesterga.pet… (graag met je woonplaats). Ook inwoners uit de rest van Nederland kunnen de petitie uiteraard ondertekenen.
Morgen om 19.30 uur is een beslissend Petear met de gemeenteraad in het gemeentehuis in Joure. Iedereen is welkom om ons daar te ondersteunen.

Heel veel dank!

When I migrated (legally!) from Holland to the Cotswolds 25 years ago, I found there a warm high trust society, very concious of and caring for the ancient, vulnerable and beautiful landscape. The neighbours in my small village were most welcoming and made sure I felt at home. – at Aalburg, Nederland
One day my co-worker asked me to pick up his daughter from school. There were a few odd looks from the parents gathered in the schoolyard when I entered as nobody knew me, but the girl's happy greeting when she saw me quickly removed all suspicion. I trust they stay vigilant. – at Aalburg, Nederland

A 5 km walk around the fortified town of Willemstad at a strategic point between North Brabant and South Holland. Its defenses withstood the Spanish in the 16th century, the French in the 18th century, but not the Germans in 1940. They added bunkers and antitank walls. #mapmywalk
A 6 km walk around Groningen, fortified with stone walls before 1470, when they were replaced with earthworks to absorb canonballs. In 1594 the Dutch captured the city from the Spanish and added bastions. Today the only remaining gate is on display at the Amsterdam @rijksmuseum.
The historic evolution of the Hoeksterend bulwark is displayed on the facade of the current building (a multilevel parking garage) in a series of maps showing the site as it was in 1550, 1603, 1845, 1877, 1960 and 2000. See the Google Streetview at maps.app.goo.gl/Bdyst35ZdkHF….
Once home to the country's second oldest university (after the one in Leiden), founded in 1585 by the States of Friesland, closed by Napoleon in 1811, today the city is best known for the world's oldest working planetarium, built between 1774 and 1781. See eisinga-planetarium.nl/
