@cdcook48@myhrhelper A pollard willow (knotwilg) is a willow whose branches are pruned every 2-6 years. These branches could be used to feed the cattle and they also used to make fences, baskets e.o. It's a lot of work to keep these pollard willows in good shape and therefore many farmes cleared them. @christinav A clog path (klompenpad) is an often muddy path along the borders of agricultural grounds/meadows. These routes make it possible even in a crowded country like The Netherlands to walk cross country. Farmers get paid by the government for letting walkers across their fields and pastures. Called klompenpad because farmers used to wear wooden clogs (klompen) and they still do.
