Several Lifescape partners have made videos of their work on Lifescape projects. On this page you will find them all.

The de Merode forests In 2004 the Flemish government bought the de Merode forests from the princes of de Merode. Since then the Vlaamse Land Maatschappij (Flemish Land Agency) works on the enhancement of the landscape, nature and heritage in the region and the involvement of the people living and recreating in the area. This film gives an overview of the de Merode forests. View a film about the de Merode forests (in Dutch, 9 minutes, 99 Mb, right click and save)

Audomarois - Between land and water The Audomarois is the most eastern region of the Parc Naturel Régional de Caps et Marais d'Opale. It is a region rich in water, nature and heritage. The film is a historical account of how this typical landscape came into being. While the text is in French the images provide a nice overview of the polders, the grasslands, the hedges that form the bocage landscape and much more - and of course of the people who live between land and water.

School Exchange In 2006 a film was made of an international school exchange. About twenty children from the Dallington Church of England Primary School in the High Weald visited the Ecole de Dohem in the French department Pas-de-Calais. The return visit was in June 2006. People from the Lifescape partners involved, Parc Naturel Régional des Cap et Marais d’Opale and the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and teachers from the schools talk in this film about their experiences.

Farming for Nature Farmers can play a significant role in managing nature and landscape. To provide the farmers with a decent income for doing so the strategy Farming for Nature was developed, in which the combination of agriculture and nature and landscape management is calculated. In 2007 a film was made about Farming for Nature. In this film the practice of cattle farmer Jan Duindam in Polder Biesland near Delft and the Twikel estate near Delden is shown. In the film English farmers visit these examples of how farmers protect nature, within the Lifescape international exchange.
