Staatsbosbeheer

Staatsbosbeheer, founded in 1899, is a Dutch government organization for forestry and the management of nature reserves.

[1] Usually this land is open to the public for recreational purposes, but restrictions often apply.

Examples are the compulsory use of a leash when bringing a dog, or daytime access only.

The organization has been criticized for not taking close enough care of its lands,[2] or for interfering with political decisions,[3] but news reports are generally positive[4] or simply report public service announcements from the organization.

The remaining land consists of various landscapes, such as dunes, polders and wetlands.
