BOSWERK

Three years after the publication of the acclaimed book VELDWERK, Jan Kleefstra and Christiaan Kuitwaard come up with its follow up BOSWERK. VELDWERK was a book about the loss of biodiversity in the Frisian landscape, but environmental problems, nitrogen deposition, drought in nature areas, often as a result of the heavy load of the big agricultural industry on the Dutch landscape, hit the Dutch forests hard. More than enough reasons to publish BOSWERK.

Jan and Christiaan made BOSWERK together with Annelies Henstra. It contains paintings by Christiaan, subsequent texts by Jan and an essay on the biodiversity in the woods by Annelies. The book is once again published by Uitgeverij Wijdemeer and is beautifully designed by Gert-Jan Slagter.

BOSWERK will be officially presented on 22 April (Earth Day) at Broekhuizerlaan in Leersum. The first copy will be handed over to Marjan Minnesma of Urgenda. BOSWERK will then also be available in the webshop of Wijdemeer. On the 10th of June there will be a special presentation on the Wadden Sea isle of Vlieland, including a musical performance (feat. Romke Kleefstra).
