Nitrogen deposition is a hot topic in the Netherlands. With an
aim of contributing to practical solutions for the current impasse,
we have joined forces with Peutz, Waardenburg Ecology and ecologist
Gerard Smit to draw up a whitepaper in which we provide guidance
for short-term possibilities, at the provincial level, to increase
clarity on which activities can be conducted.
By increasing the level of knowledge on and availability of
information on protected habitats, and by increasing transparency
in respect of government policy and its effects, it should in our
view be possible to allow for activities that would, for example,
cause short-term and limited additional nitrogen deposition onto
Natura 2000 areas.
