Vereniging tot Behoud van Natuurmonumenten in Nederland

Vereniging tot Behoud van Natuurmonumenten in Nederland, also known as Vereniging Natuurmonumenten, is a Dutch nature conservation organization founded in 1905 by Jacobus Pieter Thijsse and Eli Heimans, that buys, protects, and manages nature reserves in the Netherlands. It is a member of the European Environmental Bureau.

We give nature in the Netherlands space. We protect nature reserves, valuable landscapes and cultural heritage. In this way, our nature is preserved and we can all continue to enjoy it for centuries to come. We owe our success to our more than 700,000 members and donors and to our volunteers and partner companies. Thanks to your support, everyone in the Netherlands can enjoy the varied nature of our country.

Our vision: Natuurmonumenten takes care of more than 110,000 hectares of nature in the Netherlands. We stand up for the nature that is left. And for the new nature that is yet to come in the Netherlands. Not only in the areas we manage, but also beyond. Because we go one step further. In a way that suits the Netherlands today. Natuurmonumenten asks all Dutch people to create, care for and protect new nature together.
