The Biesbosch National Park In 1987 the proposition of the Biesbosch as a national park was put forward. As a result of this a consultative body was installed in which all those directly involved, such as owners, managers and administrators, are represented. The main task of this consultative body was to make a national park management plan with sufficient guarantees for sustainable management and conservation of the Biesbosch, to meet the requirements for national parks. In 1993 agreement was reached on the plan and on 10 March 1994 the Biesbosch was assigned the official status of National Park. You may say that an area that has the status of national park, has a natural value and is worthwhile visiting.
