Stichting Landschapsbeheer Gelderland

What Stichting Landschapsbeheer Gelderland does

Stichting Landschapsbeheer Gelderland (SLG) is a Dutch non-profit foundation (stichting) founded in 1986 and headquartered in Rozendaal, Gelderland. It manages and conserves the rural landscape and biodiversity of the Province of Gelderland through community-led programmes, working with more than 14,546 registered volunteers and biodiversity ambassadors embedded in roughly 40 municipalities. Its core offerings include the Klompenpaden network of marked walking routes across private farmland, planting actions (beplantingsacties), the volunteer programme, the Praktijknetwerk Biodiversiteit advisory service for private landowners, a Kennisbank knowledge base, the Ark voor Hoogstamfruit heritage orchard programme, and the annual Dag van het Open Erf open-farm day. Technology is limited and operational: the Veilig Vrijwilligerswerkinhetgroen webapp, developed with Stigas, standardises Arbo and safety compliance for landscape volunteers, while the Kennisbank functions as a content portal rather than a data-driven platform.

SLG's business model is that of a publicly funded non-profit. All services to landowners, volunteers, and the public are provided free of charge, with operating costs covered by institutional grants from the Province of Gelderland, Nationale Postcode Loterij, and LandschappenNL, alongside project-specific co-funding from partners such as Trees for All, RAVON, and Kenniscentrum Nelles. The foundation holds ANBI (Algemeen Nut Beogende Instelling) status and CBF certification, which together confer tax benefits for donors and qualify SLG as a preferred recipient for restricted lottery and provincial grants. Recognition includes the 2023 Gouden Mispel award for landscape and heritage work. There is no commercial pricing model, no transactional revenue line, and no indication of equity or debt issuance; growth is governed by multi-year grant cycles and provincial policy alignment rather than market demand.
