"groot groen"

English translation: Large areas of greenery

Dutch to English translations [PRO]
Botany / diploma
Dutch term or phrase: "groot groen"
"In de opleiding zijn certificaten behaald op het gebied van *groot groen* en beheer van natuur- en landschapsobjecten, zoals vermeld op het diploma-aanhangsel met certificaten."

The context here is an appendix to a diploma (diploma-aanhangsel). I've provisionally translated this as 'large foliage', but would be interested to hear if there is a more accurate solution for this.

Cheers,
R.

up to you if you think it is maintenance/preservation or whatever. The Dutch idea of 'nature preservation' is usually more drastic than the rest of the world's anyway (and is 'herzien' every 10 years!) https://books.google.pt/books?id=wrZ_VSqyAi8C&pg=PA258&lpg=P...
