  • State Forestry in Belgium Since the End of the Eighteenth Century
    / CHAPTER 3 State Forestry in Belgium since the End of the Eighteenth Century Pierre-Alain Tallier, Hilde Verboven, Kris Vandekerkhove, Hans Baeté and Kris Verheyen Forests are a key element in the structure of the landscape. Today they cover about 692,916 hectares, or about 22.7 per cent of Belgium. Unevenly distributed over the country, they constitute one of Belgium’s rare natural resources. For centuries, people have shaped these forests according to their needs and interests, resulting in the creation of man- aged forests with, to a greater or lesser extent, altered structure and species composition. Belgian forests have a long history in this respect. For millennia, they have served as a hideout, a place of worship, a food storage area and a material reserve for our ancestors. Our predecessors not only found part of their food supply in forests, but used the avail- able resources (herbs, leaves, brooms, heathers, beechnuts, acorns, etc.) to feed and to make their flocks of cows, goats and sheep prosper. Above all, forests have provided people with wood – a natural and renewable resource. As in many countries, depending on the available trees and technological evolutions, wood products have been used in various and multiple ways, such as heating and cooking (firewood, later on charcoal), making agricultural implements and fences (farmwood), and constructing and maintaining roads. Forests delivered huge quan- tities of wood for fortification, construction and furnishing, pit props, naval construction, coaches and carriages, and much more. Wood remained a basic material for industrial production up until the begin- ning of the nineteenth century, when it was increasingly replaced by iron, concrete, plastic and other synthetic materials.

  • Pt 3.1.2 OCBM Projet De Plan De Transport Florenville
    Date : 25/05/2021 Page 1 sur 15 OCBM du Luxembourg : document préparatoire au point 3.1.2 Projet de Plan Régional de Transport Public de la zone pluricommunale de Florenville 1. Rappel de la démarche Fort des créations et des renforcements de lignes permettant de fortifier l’ossature du transport public en Wallonie, l’AOT pilote un travail de redéfinition de l’offre TEC autour de ces réseaux structurants urbains et interurbains. Le principe de base de ces redéploiements est d’aligner le réseau cible avec les flux de mobilité tout mode (train, voiture, ...) et tout motif (travail, école, loisirs, ...) concernant les territoires étudiés et leur évolution, au-delà de la seule fréquentation actuelle de l’offre TEC. L’ambition est en effet de faire se parler la planification territoriale et la planification de l’offre de transport public qui doivent s’alimentent mutuellement. D’ici 2023, 17 zones pluricommunales (représentant la moitié de l’offre TEC actuelle) sont étudiées en profondeur et un nouveau réseau (cible) est élaboré pour chaque zone sur base des orientations stratégiques régionales (e.a. hiérarchisation du réseau). Ce travail est réalisé en concertation étroite entre l’Autorité Organisatrice du Transport (SPW Mobilité&Infrastuctures) et diverses parties prenantes : OTW, acteurs locaux (Communes, Province, Intercommunales, ...) et autres (IEW, UWE, SNCB, ...) sur base de la méthodologie (informations générales) (informations partagée au point précédent de cette séance. : 1718 : 1718 Le résultat de ces travaux permet l’établissement de Plans Régionaux de Transport Public par vert zone soumis pour avis formel aux Organes de Consultation des bassins de mobilité concernés.

  • Study Guide for Band of Brothers – Episode 6: Bastogne
    Study Guide for Band of Brothers – Episode 6: Bastogne INTRO: Band of Brothers is a ten-part video series dramatizing the history of one company of American paratroopers in World War Two—E Company, 506th Regiment, 101st Airborne, known as “Easy Company.” Although the company’s first experience in real combat did not come until June 1944 ( D-Day), this exemplary group fought in some of the war’s most harrowing battles. Band of Brothers depicts not only the heroism of their exploits but also the extraordinary bond among men formed in the crucible of war. In the sixth episode, Easy Company is in the Ardennes Forest, outside of Bastogne, Belgium, trying to defend the Allied line against a German counterattack in December 1944. This contest, popularly known as the Battle of the Bulge, sees the Allies face a bitter winter with inadequate supplies of ammunition, food, and medical goods for the long, entrenched battle. The Axis counterattack was ultimately rebuffed, but not without the Allies suffering some 77,000 casualties. This episode is particularly effective in depicting the harsh physical conditions of the war (and might be compared to the German’s struggle to take Stalingrad, in which the losses were much higher). Fighting frostbite and hunger in the foxholes, Easy Company’s trials demonstrate the experience of isolation and boredom of battle. The importance of medical treatment and supplies is also a prominent theme of this episode. CURRICULUM LINKS: Band of Brothers can be used in history classes. NOTE TO EDUCATORS: Band of Brothers is appropriate as a supplement to units on World War Two, not as a substitute for material providing a more general explanation of the war’s causes, effects, and greater historical significance.
