Landscape contribution: €555 for the Dutch Society for the Protection of Birds

Bird protection

And again, thanks to donations from pilgrims for our starter kits, we were able to do something good for nature: €555 for the Bird Protection Society.

With 160,000 members, this Dutch association is committed to the protection of all wild birds and their habitats. Thanks in part to the Dutch Society for the Protection of Birds, nature-inclusive construction has recently become high on the social agenda. In nature-inclusive construction , new houses are fitted with bricked-in nesting boxes and project developers are specifically stimulated to engage in nature development such as hedges and green roofs.

The flight of a bird

At the Walk of Wisdom , we love birds. The flight of a bird in the sky is a symbol of freedom. But birds always remain connected to their habitat: without it, they cannot live. These are the values of the Walk of Wisdom in a nutshell: the freedom to go your own way, in connection with the living environment. Salient detail: the outline of our route resembles that of a flying pigeon.

The Dutch Society for the Protection of Birds has very practical tips to make your living environment bird-friendly. Even if you only have a balcony. Have a look here. You can also become one of the 600 volunteers. And new members can use them to carry out their mission. You will also get their beautiful association magazine full of news and beautiful articles about birds: more.

From every donation for a starter pack , we save money to give back to the nature and culture of our route. Our mission is to promote the connection between people and with nature. By means of the landscape contribution, we ensure that it is not just a matter of fine words and intentions.
