Evidence of success
The experience of the Vuchtpolder from the Zwarte Dijk has been positively influenced.
The redoubts are now part of tourist and educational routes.
The nature reserve of the Vuchtpolder was developed to stop the declining number of meadow bird species. The results are not clear yet, but positive.
Because of the willingness of the stakeholders to think in a more integral way, the project was successful. This is an important behavioural change.

Potential for learning or transfer
The practice of making cultural heritage more perceptible while solving watermanagement issues during the realisation of new nature is transferable if we analyse the ingredients needed for success: soul, trust, quality, theatre and courage. Together they will lead to a common pride.
