Nature education
IVN
I am involved in nature education projects within a non profit educational organization (IVN). I guide people through the nature in and around The Hague (IVN Den Haag eo). I am involved in basic nature courses about different themes around plants, insects and ecology and I also participate in the training of new nature guides. The latter training is a two year course with a diploma.
Nature excursions for interested amateurs in and around The Hague: Dunes of Meiendel, Marlot, Reigersbergen, Clingendael, De Horsten, Hubertuspark, Zorgvliet.
Lectures: “Introduction to pollination
ecology”, “Biology of seeds and fruits”, “Insects
in the dunes: Introduction to their biology and ecology”, “Dragonflies:
biology and ecology”, “Butterflies: biology and conservation”, “Wasps
and bees in the dunes: Classification, biology and ecology”, "Bloemen
en hun bestuivers: een netwerk van relaties".
