What Landschapsbeheer Flevoland does

Landschapsbeheer Flevoland (legal entity: Stichting Landschapsbeheer Flevoland) is a Dutch non-profit foundation headquartered at Botter 14-03, 8232 JP Lelystad, Flevoland, Netherlands. Founded in 1999/2000, the organization coordinates volunteer-driven landscape management, nature conservation, and cultural heritage preservation across Flevoland province. Its work centers on organizing practical nature workdays, species monitoring (including ringslangen and meadow birds), invasive species control (reuzenberenklauw), educational programs for primary schools (Je school kan de boom in!), farm hedgerow (erfsingel) advisory services for livestock farmers, and heritage documentation projects such as the Schokbetonschuren inventory cataloguing post-war concrete barns. The foundation operates a sub-brand, Erfgoedhuis Flevoland, which supports heritage institutions and volunteers across the province.

The organization employs approximately 15 staff, led by chairman Andries Poppe, with a small functional team covering volunteer management (Esther Brouwer), nature work group coordination (Harold Boer), heritage project leadership (Emma Moretto), ecology (Jeroen Reinhold), education (Tim Cornelissen), invasive species control (Vincent Korevaar), meadow bird programs (Jan Nagel), and farm hedge advisory (Bert Zijlstra). During the 25th edition of the Nationale Natuurwerkdagen in 2025, more than 350 volunteers (one source cites 367) participated in Flevoland across multiple work sites despite rainy weather.

Landschapsbeheer Flevoland generates no commercial revenue. Its operating budget is funded through provincial and municipal subsidies, project-specific grants, and coalition partnership resources. All volunteer activities, educational programs, and community engagement events are provided free of charge. Core customers and stakeholders include provincial and municipal governments (Provincie Flevoland, Gemeente Lelystad, Dronten, Noordoostpolder), national nature organizations (Natuurmonumenten, Staatsbosbeheer, Flevolandschap, IVN, LandschappenNL), farmer associations, schools, and individual citizens. GTM motion is community-led, centered on volunteer recruitment, events, newsletters, and direct field engagement rather than commercial sales.
