Gemeente Terschelling is één van de opdrachtgevers in het uitvoeringsprogramma van de Boschplaat.

‍

Joost Hellevoort is namens gemeente Terschelling nauw betrokken en zit in het programmateam: 'Onze focus bij de Boschplaat ligt op het behoud van het bestaande gebruik, de cultuurhistorische waarden en de beleving, want zonder beleving is er geen draagvlak voor natuurherstel.'

Staatsbosbeheer is the owner and nature manager of the Boschplaat. Commissioned by the province of Friesland, Staatsbosbeheer, together with islanders, drew up the Boschplaat vision in 2018. This is the basis for the nature restoration measures in this project.

Joeri Lamers, forest ranger for communication and public: “I've been involved in this entire program from the start. In addition to connecting content from Staatsbosbeheer, I am often the one who takes groups to the Boschplaat. For example, I have already brought several groups of islanders to show what we are going to do. On Sunday afternoons, you can also meet me on the Boschplaat: I'm happy to search for old finds. '

Rijkswaterstaat manages the sandy coast of Terschelling and the major waters of the North Sea and Wadden Sea. Rijkswaterstaat is responsible, among other things, for implementing coastal management, managing the dune water barrier and various responsibilities for water and nature quality. The focus is on managing the coastline and the goals for Natura 2000 and the Water Framework Directive and, in a broader sense, maintaining and restoring natural dynamic processes in the Wadden Sea region.

Robert Zijlstra, advisor on water safety, morphology and climate adaptation: “I myself mainly have knowledge of the coast and coastal management, but I also contribute ideas about the program and implementation. And where necessary, I involve colleagues who know more about water and nature quality. I have been contributing to the Boschplaat vision from the start and am on the program team on behalf of Rijkswaterstaat. '

Piet Hoekstra is professor and researcher at the Wadden Academy in Leeuwarden and, in this role, joins the implementation program. He is a member of the Boschplaat program team and is therefore an important link between the implementation program and science.

‍

Since 2004, he has been involved in research into the formation of washovers. In cooperation with nature organizations, he strives for more dynamism and biodiversity on the Wadden Islands by giving natural processes space. Sand transport by water and wind plays a central role in this.
