Abstract
The beacon trees of the Bedijkte Maas
Within the Dutch riverlandscape, the river Meuse between Boxmeer and the Biesbosch is distinguished by its canalized course and the poplars planted at a fixed distance along the bank. It are mainly these ‘beacon trees’ that determine the identity of the river. The trees are highly valued by the residents along this 100-kilometer stretch. This article examines the background of this special green structure and the question of how such a green heritage can retain its significance in the future.
