REWILDING PEOPLE AND NATURE
VELD regenerative landscapes where wild nature returns and where people are invited to reconnect with the power of nature and regeneration.
We do this by bringing nature restoration, education, recreation, and community together in one place, where they reinforce each other.
Nature restoration
We restore landscapes where at least 10 hectares of new, wild nature is created. Natural processes are leading in this, and we support them where necessary.
We look for places where we can create significant ecological value, for example by connecting to an existing nature reserve, a place where rare animal species can find a new home, or a green zone that connects nature reserves.
We preserve and protect nature forever.
Growing, learning, and connecting with nature and each other
In these landscapes, we offer small-scale regenerative education and recreation, in which people reconnect with nature, themselves, and each other. In an environment that invites sensory experiences, space is created for personal recovery and sustainable change.
By learning through doing and experiencing, we make regenerative principles tangible and applicable in an accessible way. Inspiration, practice, and accommodation come together and appeal to the head, hands, and heart. In this way, people experience once again that they are part of nature.
The landscapes are also a place of encounter. By actively connecting guests, local residents, and entrepreneurs, a committed community is growing that contributes to nature restoration and a regenerative future.
In this way, these landscapes become the catalyst for recovery. Of people, society, and nature, inextricably linked.

Invest in the first VELD
→ create new wild nature
→ 100% return on your investment
We are currently in the process of purchasing the first location!
On this former brick factory site of almost 18 hectares in the floodplains near Maurik (Gelderland), we will transform this heavily disturbed land into new, wild nature, combined with small-scale accommodation and regenerative education.
It is NOW possible to get involved as an early investor and contribute to the realization of this special place. By doing so, you will generate a superb return for nature, society, and, of course, yourself!
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.
