Online conferentie watermolenbiotoop 5 maart

Dear mill-lover,

Thank you for registering for the online conference on the Craft of the Miller on 5 March 2025 at 4:00 pm CET.

The topic of will be: ‘The problems with the watermill biotope’

The preservation of historic watermill landscapes and their watermills has been under pressure for decades. In the implementation of the European Water Framework Directive and the conservation of Natura 2000 areas, water mills are perceived as obstacles by water managers. The fact that watermill landscapes can also offer solutions to climate and nature issues is often not seen or denied. How can we interpret the historically developed cultural landscape and use it for current issues and preserve the mills and their function?

 

The program is:

1. Hans de Mars, senior consultant Ecohydrology & Team coordinator Ecohydrology Royal Haskoning DHV

             Presentation about historical watermill landscapes; how to recognize and interpret them; how can one protect and use them?
