In this expansive 25,000-hectare region \u2014 surrounding cities such as Haarlem, Amsterdam, and Purmerend \u2014 we will be planting thousands of trees and shrubs in the coming years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We support various local projects in this area by planting forests and landscape elements such as hedgerows, avenue trees, food forests, and farmyard vegetation. Trees and shrubs play a vital role: they boost biodiversity, capture CO2, provide cooling, and contribute to a peaceful, green environment \u2014 right next to the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our goal: <strong>75,000 trees and shrubs in the Amsterdam Metropolitan Region. <\/strong>Would you like to help green Amsterdam&#8217;s surroundings?

together<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Metropolitan Region Amsterdam faces major challenges. The climate is changing and the quality of nature and water is declining. Biodiversity is under pressure. At the same time, more housing is needed, and the national Forest Strategy calls for more forest. Farmers are struggling, and residents are looking for green spaces to relax.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s why <a href=\"https:\/\/degroenestelling.nl\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">De Groene Stelling<\/a> is taking action: a collaboration between residents, farmers, businesses, and civil society organizations. Together, we aim to create a future-proof landscape \u2014 with space for nature, sustainable agriculture, recreation, and climate solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Our contribution?<\/strong> We will plant 75,000 trees and shrubs in and around Amsterdam in the coming years. This will boost biodiversity, store CO2, and help create a greener, more beautiful environment for both people and wildlife.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At various locations, we plant native species in the form of forests, avenue trees, hedgerows, and tree walls. These green additions help restore the landscape, strengthen nature, and create nice places for residents to walk, cycle and enjoy being outdoors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a id=\"_msocom_1\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"793\" src=\"https:\/\/treesforall.wptest.go2people.nl\/app\/uploads\/2025\/04\/2-gebiedskaart2023-groenestelling-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-67675\" style=\"width:705px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/treesforall.wptest.go2people.nl\/app\/uploads\/2025\/04\/2-gebiedskaart2023-groenestelling-1.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/treesforall.wptest.go2people.nl\/app\/uploads\/2025\/04\/2-gebiedskaart2023-groenestelling-1-300x238.jpg 300w, https:\/\/treesforall.wptest.go2people.nl\/app\/uploads\/2025\/04\/2-gebiedskaart2023-groenestelling-1-768x609.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>Area map of De Groene Stelling<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-g2p-wrapper  has-white-background-color\"><div class=\"container\"><div class=\"row justify-content-center\"><div class=\"col-12 col-md-10 col-lg-8\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-primary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-9315ddb69fe7f0cd251092e98c57b897\">Which projects are we supporting?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-2 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-g2p-wrapper-inner  has-shadow-background-color\" style=\"padding:15px 15px\">\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Amsterdam birthday forest<\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/treesforall.wptest.go2people.nl\/app\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Fotocredits-Floris-Leeuwenberg-Bosk-Leeuwarden-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-67404\" style=\"width:350px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/treesforall.wptest.go2people.nl\/app\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Fotocredits-Floris-Leeuwenberg-Bosk-Leeuwarden-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/treesforall.wptest.go2people.nl\/app\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Fotocredits-Floris-Leeuwenberg-Bosk-Leeuwarden-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/treesforall.wptest.go2people.nl\/app\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Fotocredits-Floris-Leeuwenberg-Bosk-Leeuwarden-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/treesforall.wptest.go2people.nl\/app\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Fotocredits-Floris-Leeuwenberg-Bosk-Leeuwarden-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/treesforall.wptest.go2people.nl\/app\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Fotocredits-Floris-Leeuwenberg-Bosk-Leeuwarden-scaled.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>For one day, we\u2019re transforming the A10 highway into a green oasis together with <a href=\"https:\/\/degezondestad.org\/projecten\/verjaardagbos\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">De Gezonde Stad<\/a>.
