Breda becomes the first National Park City in the Netherlands

Breda has been recognised as the first National Park City in the Netherlands, following an inspiring peer review process coordinated by the National Park City Foundation, with support from Salzburg Global, and World Urban Parks.

Breda National Park City is a grassroots movement of all the people in the city working on transforming Breda into a city within a natural park. Nature enthusiasts, gardeners, artists, entrepreneurs, vegetable growers, tree planters – in short, everyone who wishes to enhance urban biodiversity can participate.
