Green policies and maintenance
The restoration of old waterways and preservation of existing green spaces are a top priority in the ‘green’ policies of the Oost Gelre council. Waterways are being connected and returned to their original routes, even those which run through the town. The green policies of Oost Gelre pay careful attention to local environmental conditions, which often arise as a result of a certain type of soil or ground water source.
The quality of the public green spaces is a top point of attention in the council’s green policies. By way of an example, ground cover plants are used as weed control, virtually eliminating the need for any chemical herbicides to be used. Park maintenance is also done paying careful attention for the environment; for instance Scottish Highland Cattle have been introduced into Wentholt and Beekdal parks to keep the grass short.
