The fact that Brasse became involved with nature in his spare time and professionally became apparent at a younger age. He studied to become a biology teacher and worked for the Groningen Nature Museum and IVN Nature Education. “Nature has always been the common thread,” says Brasse about his life story. “You want to involve people and show them how beautiful it is.”
The creation of his columns is very changeable. “Often it’s based on what I experienced weeks ago or sometimes the day before.” Brasse gives as an example: “I had problems with my ears, you hear less and you think: how do animals fare if they hear less? Then I find out and write a text about it. I do it in such a way that it is interesting and understandable for everyone.”
Brasse has often taken a matching photo for his column before. “But sometimes I have to look for a picture to go with it. It’s an interaction.”
The longer the Roder nature fan talks about his passion, the more passionate his story. Even Albert Einstein cannot escape the comparison with the (Drenthe) natural beauty. Einstein once said something like: look at nature and you will understand everything better. So when you view nature, open your senses. You see everything.”
