We are the movement in the South-Veluwe watershed
In the South Veluwe watershed, the world’s ecological, cultural, political, and social crises are expressed in local challenges. They originate in disconnections between people and between people and place. This is why we are building a territorial movement of people, initiatives, and organizations. Together, we are creating a vital watershed, a community-based economy, and a culture of care, for one another and for the bioregion itself. We do this relationally, grounded in shared values, and for the wellbeing of all life. We see this as an antidote to the growing hardening and alienation in our society.
Get to know the region
The South-Veluwe watershed is an agroecological glacial paradise. It encompasses the municipalities of Rhenen, Ede, Wageningen, Renkum and the city of Arnhem. The land shaped its people and vice versa. It has always been a region of pioneers and cultural diversity.
What we do
Together with more than 250 engaged residents and organizations from the watershed, we formulated five strategic areas to guide the movement in the South Veluwe Watershed. Within these lines of action, we work with our partners and catalysts on projects that translate the philosophy of the watershed into concrete and visible steps.
