The Oostvaardersplassen (Dutch pronunciation:[oːstˈfaːrdərsˌplɑsə(n)]) is a nature reserve in the Netherlands, managed by the Staatsbosbeheer (state forestry service). Covering about 56 square kilometres (22 sq mi) in the province of Flevoland, it is an experiment[2][3][4] in rewilding.[5] It is in a polder created in 1968; by 1989, its ecological interest had resulted in its being declared a Ramsar wetland.[6] It became part of Nieuw Land National Park when that was established in 2018.

^Oostvaardersplassen is discussed, for example, in George Monbiot's book Feral: searching for enchantment on the frontiers of rewilding (2013). While being in favour of rewilding, Monbiot has doubts about this site's lack of tree cover and of predators.
