Forest ranger Jocelyn enjoys her work: "So many different plants in one square meter"
Ranger Jocelyn de Kwant and reporter Stephan Roest explored the nature area along the Liede river near Haarlem to identify various plants. The pair successfully used observational techniques and a digital app to distinguish between different species of St. John's wort.
Ranger Jocelyn de Kwant of the North Holland Landscape organization recently teamed up with reporter Stephan Roest for an educational walk along the Liede river near Haarlem. The pair dedicated their excursion to identifying various local flora, navigating the challenges of distinguishing between similar-looking species. Their journey through the wet terrain highlighted the rich botanical diversity found in the region.
During the exploration, the duo encountered a plant that initially appeared to be common Saint John's wort. After carefully examining the leaves and stems to confirm specific characteristics, they concluded it was actually winged St. John's wort. By using a identification application to verify their assessment, they successfully confirmed the species, showcasing both the complexities of botanical work and the enthusiasm required to explore the natural environment of the Netherlands.
