Dirt road Epse

Over 360 special species of insects and other invertebrates were found along the Oude Larenseweg in Epse thanks to a unique collaboration between villagers and scientists. With the new discoveries, the neighbourhood was able to prevent the plans of the municipality to surface the age-old dirt road.

The final report is here.
