Project LIFE Climate Forest is initiated by Staatsbosbeheer and de Bosgroepen

Staatsbosbeheer was founded in 1899 and manages 273,000 hectares of forest, nature, and landscape and 1,900 built objects in the Netherlands. It is an independent public organisation with a statutory task, falling within the remit of the Ministry of Agriculture, Nature and Food Quality. Staatsbosbeheer has an important role in the realisation of national and international nature targets, outdoor recreation near urban agglomerations and the preservation of landscape monuments. It employs some 11,000 people and welcomes millions of visitors each year. Staatsbosbeheer manages the green heritage of the Netherlands. Nature that you feel connected to. That is what Staatsbosbeheer is committed to. A country where we cherish nature and the landscape, but where there is also room for experience and sustainable use.

De Bosgroepen are independent cooperative associations of and for owners of forest and nature areas. They advise and unburden their members where it comes to sustainable management of forests and nature. Their expertise focuses on all aspects of management; from research, advice and drawing up a management or project plan to the implementation in the field. The approach is realistic and purposeful, based on expertise, years of experience and knowledge of the members and their areas. There are more than 1500 members in the three regional Bosgroepen, spread throughout the Netherlands. These are private individuals, foundations, country estates, care institutions, nature conservation organisations, water supply companies and governments such as water boards, defence, and municipalities. Together, the members own or manage more than 400,000 hectares of forest and nature. The Unie van Bosgroepen is the national overarching organisation and there are three regional Bosgroepen.
