Netherlands forestry and conservation efforts

Overview

Forestry and conservation initiatives managed by Staatsbosbeheer are progressing across various regions in the Netherlands.

In the Sterrebos, timber harvesting has resumed following the conclusion of the bird breeding season. Concurrently, efforts to meet the National Forest Strategy goal of creating 37,000 hectares of new forest by 2030 are underway, including a project in the Waal river floodplains to allow 200 hectares of riparian forest to develop naturally.

In the Veluwe region, restoration work has commenced on an 800-meter stretch of historic waterworks at Noorderheide in Vierhouten. The early 20th-century system, a national monument, is being repaired to preserve its ecological and aesthetic functions. Workers are cleaning channels and reusing original materials to address damage caused by weather and foot traffic, with the project expected to continue through late November.
