oerbos
How should we deal with the forests of Central Europe? Emotions have been running high around this question in recent years, with Eastern and Western European ideas about nature being diametrically opposed to each other. What do we want to preserve most – bison, trees or our traditions? Why was a Romanian forest ranger murdered recently? Where does all the illegally felled wood actually end up?
In an attempt to find answers, Dore van Duivenbode moves into a Polish boarding school for young forest rangers in training, observes wolf turds and bison tracks as a volunteer in a National Park, and speaks to those involved in the primeval forest, from environmentalists and scientists to forest rangers. hunters, and old ladies who have been collecting mushrooms all their lives. Gradually, the journey to one of the most beautiful places in Europe becomes a report of its ugliest excesses.
'A heartbreaking story of a dilapidated house that whispers stories of war and family love. Very clever and moving.' – Wilfried de Jong about My Polish house
