Tips

In 2010 Jan Sanders discovered a method of hedge weaving/hedge laying (in Kasteren) ('croken and join together to maintain the peace therewith datter gheen beesten int schot enkomen' = break/break and bind together to maintain the fence so that no cattle get into the young shot). He found this in 16th-century documents from the Carthusian monastery of Saint Sophia of Constantinople.

The Landscape Fund of Het Groene Woud provided financing for a braided hedge project, which gave many dozens a training in hedge weaving.

On March 21, 2012, Natuurwerkgroep Liempde, in collaboration with Staatsbosbeheer, took the initiative to plant a Carthusian braided hedge at this location during the tree holiday, by Olland and Liempdse children.

In the De Geelders nature reserve there was already a farm called 't Coot in the Middle Ages, it was in use until 1928.

It is true that there is no longer a building on the sandy path that is still called 't Speet and may be given the name 't Coot. The contours of the farm have been depicted in the form of, among other things, linden and walnut trees. Well executed in stone is an old well near the trees. And nearby, new wooded banks have been planted, such as those depicted on old maps of Liempde.
