The document discusses the process of restoring dynamics to dune landscapes in Noordvoort from 2000-2004 and 2008 onward. It involved removing vegetation and soil from six locations to allow the sand to blow and move again. The goals were to reinforce natural values, create a quiet zone, and provide opportunities for people to experience nature. Key points for attention included long-term monitoring and management to maintain the restored areas without needing constant human intervention. Success will be achieved when the dunes are allowed to stabilize naturally over time according to changing climate conditions.

6. What were the plans?
• To restore dynamics
• To reinforce nature values and to
create a quiet zone
• To develop possibilities for people to
enjoy and experience nature,
processes and landscape

20. Or not…

21. When will we be satisfied?
When is the project a success?

22. -It is likely that, regarding the
current climatic circumstances,
reactivated dunes will not stay
mobile by itself in the long run

23. -After taking away the remnants of
stabilization, reactivated dunes
should be left to nature

24. -Also if mobilized dunes or smaller
blowouts get stabilized after several
years, they have had there positive
influence on the grey dunes and on
rejuvenation of grey dunes around
them
