De beleidskracht van groen burgerinitiatief. 12 | Wot-rapport 127
Summary In recent years conservation management practice in the Netherlands has been transformed. The recently published government vision on nature emphasises the deinstitutionalisation of nature policy and the dominant policy discourse has shifted from ‘creating services for the public’ to ‘creating value with the public’. Drawing on information about 264 green citizens’ initiatives, we analyse the opportunities and constraints of self-organisation by citizens in the green domain. Wide diversity of green citizens’ initiatives Green citizens’ initiatives are initiatives in which enthusiastic, committed and often well-informed citizens act to protect and manage green spaces of value to them. They do this with a range of different objectives, means and strategies. The nature of these projects varies from the hundreds of neighbourhood gardens to a few iconic initiatives, such as De Dommelbimd in the province of Noord- Brabant. This diversity of initiatives can best be described by breaking them down into three axes of involvement: • Protection: groups that emphasise physical activities to manage or develop the ecological and/or heritage qualities of green spaces. • Enjoyment: groups that focus primarily on physical activities to manage green spaces in which the use of the area is the main concern and/or conservation is not the main function of the area. • Influence: political groups that try to achieve their green objectives by influencing policy and management. They often oppose existing policy, and sometimes even the dominant principles of nature policy. Within these three axes we identify ten ideal types of citizens’ initiative (Table S1).

Of all these initiatives, 65% have ecological objectives and seek to turn 'grey' areas into 'green' areas or improve the ecological quality of existing green spaces; 10% concern only areas within the National Ecological Network. But not all citizens’ initiatives have an ecological or nature conservation objective. A substantial minority have more social objectives, such as awareness-raising and education (30%) or social cohesion (10%). They try to raise people’s De betekenis van groene burgerinitiatieven | 13
