The planting of quasen (bushes?) and sowing zandhaver (oats for sandy soil) has been successful in reducing sand drifts. Grass is starting to grow around the edges of the sand drifts. However, the grazing of sheep causes much damage to this new grass. Therefore it has been decided that anyone who herds sheep or other animals in the sand drift will be fined 40 gulden, half of which will be received by the person who reports the offence and half for the benefit of the common, also forbidding the cutting of trees or pulling out of quasen (bushes?) at the sand drifts as well. A publication to announce this rule will be made and the cattle pounders are instructed to keep a close watch on these offences.
