Protect and experience nature.

The Buitenfonds Foundation supports nature projects in collaboration with Staatsbosbeheer. Thanks to donations, the foundation can implement initiatives that protect nature and make it accessible for current and future generations.

Why

Although Staatsbosbeheer receives funding for basic services like nature management and recreational infrastructure, there is a lack of funding for additional projects. Buitenfonds bridges this gap by raising external funds, enabling projects such as nature education, monument preservation, and biodiversity enhancement to continue.

Impact

Mission & goals

The Buitenfonds has the mission to preserve and enrich the nature of the Netherlands. The foundation supports projects that contribute to sustainable nature experiences, education, and ecological sustainability. They work within six thematic areas: Ecological Footprint, New Wilderness, Cultural Treasures, Children, Forest Ranger, and Experience.

Actions
  • Financial support for nature projects that do not receive government funding.
  • Crowdfunding and fundraising to assist Staatsbosbeheer in nature conservation and education.
  • Collaborations with companies, individuals, and donors to keep nature accessible and appealing.

“Experiencing nature is essential. With the support of our donors, we can preserve and pass on the beauty and value of our nature.”

Harm Blom – forest ranger in National Park De Biesbosch
