The Provincial States of North Holland reportedly adopted a motion calling on the provincial executive to allocate an additional €150,000 per year from 2027 through 2030 for deploying more volunteer “green volunteers” in nature reserves. The motion was supported by D66, CDA, VVD, PRO, Volt, SP and ChristenUnie and passed with 36 votes in favor and 16 against.

The requested funding concerns the coming years and is intended to increase the use of volunteers in nature reserves.
