Abstract
This thesis explores the ways in which landscape architectural interventions can aid in restoring degraded ecosystems, while keeping human presence on the landscape visible and beneficial to this restoration. The design site is the Veluwe, the largest
terrestrial Natura 2000 area in the Netherlands, that has a complex history of both natural and man-made processes. The design and research process went through different iterations to figure out how these processes can be integrated into a design, incorporating knowledge from the realms of ecological restoration, rewilding and landscape heritage. The final design combined habitat restoration on a regional scale, with localised intervention aimed to raise ecological and cultural awareness to visitors.
