Your host, Francisca

Francisca Laporte:
As a child I felt the adventure of nature pulling at me. I was lucky enough not to put any effort into that, because I was living in the middle of it. My father was a forester. Our forest was intended for timber harvesting. I now live with my family in Overlangbroek opposite the 13th century Hyacinthus Church. Here I am digging up a hidden history and breathing new life into it: The story of the ash coppice. I would like to take you into my enchantment for the HakHout.
