Mowing

Mowing creates a sturdy, safe dike that protects low-lying North Holland from flooding. In addition to mowing dikes for water safety, we mow roadsides along our roads for traffic safety. And we mow waterways (ditches and canals) for the supply and drainage of water, to prevent water shortages and flooding.

Biodiversity

During mowing we take into account the habitat of animals and plants. Depending on the location, we therefore mow later and/or less, for example. In this way we contribute to improving biodiversity.
