The artwork "Supported Development ' made by Adri de Fluiter is placed on this spot in 1989 on the occasion of the 60- anniversary of the BV Oud Schoonebeeker Turfstrooiselfabriek en Veenderij A. Veldkamp.
The image consists of a red form and four angled blue sawhorses. The image above is a long straight canal. Due to the reflection of the image in the water there is created as it were, a second image. The image itself symbolizes the red more or less organic 'boat shape' or if you prefer "a human torso form," the passion with which this peat area has been developed. The straight channels, represents the angled trestles, formed in the peat transport routes on which the turf was discarded. Together with the counter or reflection in the water this image symbolizes the present and past. The red form of the channel placed represents in my view a kind of stop sign and therefore the loss of the key transport function of many in the peat by man dug channels.
