Weeding, putting together benches and cleaning animal pens. Drenthe rolls up its sleeves during national volunteer action NLdoet

Nora Hoog is on her knees between some thick wooden posts and tree discs. Together with some other members of the OngeEikt Cooperative in Assen, she is busy making a bench for the front yard. A little further on, the path to the entrance of their building on the Eemland is cleared of weeds and overgrown shrubs. It all looks a lot neater than this morning. Everyone agrees on that.
