In 01966 Louis Guillaume Le Roy (01924 - 02012) of the municipality of Heerenveen was commissioned to set up a kilometer long and 20 meter wide strip of public space. This was  the start of the first ecocathedral, which Le Roy later realized on a piece of land in Mildam, with thousands of cargo vowels, pavement tires, tiles and residual waste from streetmakers. And the work continues until the present day. And so forth, and so forth, and so forth.

"An ecocathedral is an area where human, plant and animal work together in an equivalent way, without prior plan and free energy. It is a place where nature and culture come together. The Foundation TIJD advocates landing in every place of any planology and giving it the destination "Ecocathedral process" as the land in Mildam has. We call this a symbiotic double city. An ecocathedral process has been started in the Le Roy Garden in Heerenveen since 1966, and in the Groningen district of Lewenborg, a Le Roy area is being developed around the same time."
