Military training area with natural values

There are two important military training areas in the province: the Leusderheide and the Vlasakkers. These sites have important natural values, partly thanks to careful management by the Ministry of Defence, which is also aimed at preserving these natural values. However, the General Spatial Planning Regulations Decree (Barro) indicates that these sites are not part of the Netherlands Nature Network. According to the government, military use is not compatible with the status of NNN and the associated protection regime. However, as also acknowledged in the explanatory notes of the Barro, these sites do make an emphatic contribution to the functioning of the NNN due to their size, location and natural quality. We have therefore designated these sites as military training grounds with natural values. The sites are not formally part of the NNN.
