In the two-year pilot in Northwest Overijssel, four subareas were selected (Kallenkote, Mastenbroek, Tolhuislanden and Wijthmen), where 52 participants applied measures for the lapwing. Five lapwing packages have been put together especially for the pilot (edge ​​management, whether or not in combination with rough manure and/or wet conditions). In addition, a broader set of mosaic packages (management as we know it from the ANLb) could be chosen. In addition, ANLb contracts were already in place in three of the four areas.

Successful border network for the lapwing: the aim was to realize an effective border management network in each of the four areas, supplemented with full-field management in promising places. This has been successful, thanks to personal recruitment (group meetings and kitchen table discussions), a mandatory 'lapwing workshop' and a coordinating role of the Collective in the location of the full-field management. Especially in areas where ANLb had already been contracted, we succeeded in creating effective management mosaics. During the workshop, several participants adjusted the location of their edges and placed them in more promising places. The meadow bird monitoring shows that the edges have an independent function for lapwings (families): they are regularly found in and near pilot edges. Many lapwings were counted, especially in swampy parts and in edges along arable land. In addition, the edges have a function for other meadow birds and for mammals, such as hare and roe deer. Most participants find the measures fit in well and the compensation adequate.
