Report to the general meeting in Højeruplund on 21.11.2017
Many things have happened during the reporting year, and we have other matters in progress about which we would like to hear the members' opinions.
Let me start with the old church ruin. The preliminary investigation into the condition of the wall paintings and the possibility of proper restoration, which was initiated in 2016, has not yet been finally reported on. The National Museum is in the process of carrying out a year-long climate measurement.

TV 2 LORRY has for a considerable time been running a campaign with a new advert each week, which is intended to brand the area the region covers. All the adverts have been filmed with a drone, and therefore offer a new perspective on both well-known and lesser-known locations.
This week we filmed at Højerup Old Church and Stevns Klint.
The cliff erosion has continued for several hundred years, and encroached so much on the church that it was closed in 1920, as it was feared that it would collapse into the sea. It is now hopefully protected from the water with concrete.
Stevns Klint has been added to UNESCO's World Heritage list because a dramatic chapter in Earth's history is hidden within the cliff. A notably thin layer of fish clay tells the story of how the dinosaurs and half of all animal species were wiped out 66 million years ago when an asteroid hit the Earth.
What's special about Stevns is also that TV ØST also covers this area, which is why both stations are the senders of the spot.
