Together we are strong!
Vloethemveld is an area owned and managed by the Agency for Nature and Forest. For the public operation, reception and management of the heritage in Vloethemveld, Nature and Forest works together with the municipalities of Zedelgem and Jabbeke, the Flemish Land Agency, Vloethemveld vzw and the Historical Scientific Committee.
Join forces
On Heritage Day 2019, these organizations signed a cooperation agreement that forms the framework for the public operation and the reception of the entire Vloethemveld, the exploitation of the Kamp Vloethemveld and 't Kamphuis, as well as the guide operation. The management of the heritage is also central to this.
Agency for Nature and Forest
We cherish, protect and develop nature reserves, forests and parks in Flanders. From European top nature in untrodden places to modest nature gems right at your front door: the more than 300 nature reserves of Nature and Forest are there for everyone and offer countless possibilities to experience nature.

Vloethemveld vzw: Bridge between heritage, nature and visitors
De Vloethemveld vzw forms the pivot of public operations within the cooperation agreement between the municipalities of Jabbeke and Zedelgem, the Agency for Nature and Forest (ANB) and the Flemish Land Agency (VLM).
With great enthusiasm, the non -profit organization is responsible for the reception and guidance of visitors. During walks and various activities, they take young and old on a voyage of discovery through the rich history of the area and the impressive natural beauty of Vloethemveld.
Thanks to a motivated group of volunteers, the reception building, the "Kamphuis", remains accessible to the public. There they welcome the visitors with open arms and show them the way in this unique landscape full of stories.
Our labels
Protected heritage
In order to put special exemplary openings of protected real estate and sailing heritage in the spotlight, the Agency for Heritage developed an exclusive quality label: the recognition as open heritage. On the one hand, they are inspiring examples for the development and opening of other sites where people try to find a balance between heritage values and opening. On the other hand, this is a recognizable label for visitors who are looking for quality, accessible, open heritage sites.
Natura 2000
Natura 2000 is a European network of protected nature. That network protects valuable nature from European Interest. This nature provides benefits for humans, such as pure water, fresh air, a buffer against climate change and space for recreation, sports and relaxation. Natura 2000 areas have also been defined in Flanders. We call these the special protection zones.
