Nieuw Land National Park (Netherlands)

Nieuw Land National Park (New Land National Park; Dutch: Nationaal Park Nieuw Land) is a national park in the Dutch province of Flevoland.

It was established on October 1, 2018, when Minister Carola Schouten visited the province to make the announcement.^[3] The national park is managed by the organizations Flevo-landschap, Staatsbosbeheer, and Natuurmonumenten.^[2] The total surface area amounts to 289 km² (112 sq mi), of which over 75% is water.^[3] The land, mostly wetlands, is part of the artificial island Flevopolder.^[1] Nature reserves that are part of the national park include the Oostvaardersplassen, the Lepelaarplassen, the lake Markermeer, and the artificial archipelago Marker Wadden.^[1] Some of those areas were already protected Natura 2000 sites before the park's creation.^[3] Nieuw Land National Park is visited by numerous species of migratory birds.^[4]

In 2019, governments and nature organizations committed to spending €470 million in the next twenty years to develop the park and to connect its separate parts.^[5]
