Project summary

Edit project overview to modify the project summary.

The Blauwe Kamer (Blue Room, named after a farm that stood in the area) was one of the first projects, in 1992, in line with the ideas of Plan Ooievaar (http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plan_Ooievaar, Dutch), which can be seen as a predecessor for the Room for the River program.

The first measure that was taken was to take away part of the summer quay, restoring the natural dynamics of the floodplain, thereby bringing back the natural river landscape. The low-lying area now becomes inundated even with a slight increase of the water level. This, together with the introduction of large herbivores, konik horses and galloway cattle, has led to the emergence of a more diverse landscape. In 2002 the Grebbeberg, the south side of the Utrecht Hill Ridge is connected to the Blauwe Kamer. As part of the National Ecological Network is the Blauwe Kamer part of a project where the Utrecht Ridge, the Veluwe and the river banks of the Meuse and Waal get connected with each other. For this purpose a number of barriers such as the N225 provincial road still need to be resolved.
