Explore the forests of the Netherlands

Forests in the Netherlands take up about 10 per cent of the country’s landscape, yet they are increasingly exposed to nitrogen emissions and droughts due to climate change. Explore Dutch forest projects with verified ecosystem services below and consider incorporating them into your climate strategy today.

Program ‘Climate-Proof Forest’: Climate resilient forests, spread across the Middle and South of the Netherlands

‘Climate-Proof Forest’ to store carbon in FSC-certified forests in the Netherlands

Unie van Bosgroepen holds a group certificate, involving more than 80 smaller forests spread across the Netherlands. Within the program ‘Climate-Proof Forest’, we work together with Unie van Bosgroepen on specific measures to enhance nature and boost experience in Dutch forests, as well as to store CO2 in the surrounding environment. This contributes to climate-resilient forests, spread across the Center and South of the Netherlands.
