MEERGroen
MeerGroen (More Green) Foundation is a non-profit volunteer based organisation founded in 2011. Since then, we have initiated numerous projects aimed at adding local ecological value and engaging people in nature management, particularly in public spaces.
We offer a variety of projects with ecological solutions to address the climate and biodiversity crises. These projects focus on:
Creating: green urban spaces with neighborhood participation.
Planting: orchards, wildflower meadows, community gardens, and climate forests.
Ecological management of: urban forests, parks, and neglected areas.
Saving and transplanting young trees: we rescue trees from less favorable locations and relocate them to more suitable ones.
Improving biodiversity: in addition to native plants, we build insect hotels, sand gardens for bees, and bat and birdhouses using recycled materials.
Raising awareness: educational workdays for businesses and schools.
Getting hands dirty: our approach is less talk and more focus on action! This way, we achieve a lot, and inspire others to get involved as well.

Upcoming Special Events
Our dreams for the future of Lincolnpark and Haarlemmermeer
Join us in thinking about neighborhood identity
A new neighborhood featuring a totem pole as a landmark, crafted with meaningful symbols and visual elements, will serve as a distinctive marker of its identity. During the official opening on May 9, we will unveil a symbolic pole that embodies the aspirations and symbols of those involed and connected to the community. This pole will reflect what individuals hope for this area and its future over the next 10, 50, or even 100 years. To spark your imagination, we will showcase examples from a previous symbolic pole created in De Heimanshof. Read how you can partake in this unique initiative.
