VELD is a regenerative landscape that rewilds depleted land and invites people to connect with the power of nature and regeneration.
VELD is an ambitious regenerative landscape initiative. We are restoring impoverished land into a new wild natural area and creating a place where you can spend time in complete harmony with nature.
At VELD, you will experience the power and beauty of regeneration in different ways. In the simplicity of being present and enjoying the restored landscape and its richness. Or in a more conscious deepening, where inspiration, learning, and practice come together to explore regenerative living.
The integrated regenerative environment serves both as a source of inspiration and as a platform for education, fostering reconnection with our natural world while at the same time protecting her.
"When we heal the earth, we heal ourselves."
- David Orr
From loss to restoration
Dutch nature is under pressure: 80-90% of our biodiversity has disappeared. At the same time, there is a growing desire for regeneration - for connection with nature and the will to contribute to its recovery. But change is not easy, especially in a landscape that also requires space for housing, agriculture and recreation.
With VELD , we bring nature, people and environment together in one place. Here you will find regenerative recreation, education and connection, in the middle of an accessible, wilderness area. This is how we create positive impact on people, nature and the environment - from four pillars.
Nature & Soil Restoration
Personal Regeneration
Inspiration & Education
Connection & Community
Together toward a regenerative future
At VELD , we believe that inspiration, learning and meaningful experiences move people toward sustainable choices. Our dream? A place where nature flourishes, regenerative life is shared and visitors leave touched and inspired. This first place is the beginning of a network of regenerative locations that together contribute to the recovery of nature and society.
Deep & meaningful impact
Our impact extends beyond nature restoration. We bring new, wild nature to life while touching the well-being of people, the strength of communities and our shared future prospects. This impact comes together in four forms of growth:
Ecological growth
We create and care for wilderness. We improve soil health, increase biodiversity and protect nature for future generations.
Personal growth
We enhance wellness and recovery, and offer hope and perspective. We increase knowledge and encourage change toward a more sustainable lifestyle.
Social growth
We connect people and strengthen community ties. We take steps together for systematic change toward a regenerative society.
Social growth
We inspire actions that initiate systemic change and collaborate with local entrepreneurs and impact organizations.
We are looking for partners
VELD is in bud. The next step is to obtain and finance a location. For this we are looking for partner investors who will contribute not only financially, but also with knowledge, network and commitment to help VELD come to fruition.
In addition, we are eager to meet future partners who would like to step in as co-founders, for example, a regenerative farmer, field agent or hotel manager.

VELD team
I am Anne-Marijn, founder of VELD. From the conviction that care for nature and ourselves are inseparable, I want to contribute to a consciousness in which we see ourselves again as part of nature and live accordingly.
Together with a dedicated team of experts in nature restoration, architecture and hospitality, I work to develop and implement VELD. Their knowledge and experience are vital to realizing this vision.
