Stichting het Groninger Landschap

The Stichting het Groninger Landschap is the nature conservation organization in Groningen, founded in 1936. It manages a growing number of nature areas, spread throughout the province. In early 2004, the organization had a total of 7556 hectares divided over twenty terrains.

  • Protectors

    The greatness in the diversity in the landscapes in the Province of Groningen is reflected in the very different appearances properties of the organization. For its members (referred to as 'protectors'), there are around twenty terrains for them to enjoy, most of which are open to the public.
    Excursions are often given in the closed areas and are announced in the quarterly magazine 'Golder Raand'. They are also on the website. At the Waddencentrum in Pieterburen, you can also get more information about the organization.
    There are lovely bird watching huts in the Westerbroekstermadepolder and in Nieuwe Staten Zijl. The latter is the only outer dike bird watching hut in the Netherlands.
