Nature associations

De Helderse Vallei works together with various local nature associations, such as:

The members of these associations regularly organise lectures, excursions and activities in Den Helder and at De Helderse Vallei.

Some associations also make use of the facilities at De Helderse Vallei and contribute to management of the grounds. For example, the KNNV (the Dutch Society for Nature) looks after the wild flower garden in our grounds, the Vogelwerkgroep Den Helder e.o. (Den Helder Bird Work Group) maintains the bird garden and the Bijenhoudersvereniging Noord-Holland Noord (Beekeepers' Association of Noord-Holland Noord) cares for a hive of bees in the bee tree. Windmolenvereniging de Eendragt has installed a small wind turbine that generates clean wind power close to the animal pasture.
