Peat Pioneer
Boerstra Engineering – Peat Pioneer
Using a wooden excavator on the land and in the water, historical artefacts, layers of earth and water samples tell the story of a turbulent history of the Peat Colonies.
Boerstra Engineering researches the landscape for the Foundation 250/400, celebrating the 250th and 400th anniversary of the Stadskanaal and the Semslinie (the provincial border).
