Abstract
Driven by nature quality decline, this research aimed at identifying socio-spatial conditions for expanding the NNN in Friesland. Therefore, five semi-structured in-depth interviews have been conducted and analysed. These have been supplemented by a number of relevant policy documents. It was found that there seems to be greatest expansion potential for the smallest and least connected (clusters of) nature areas. It must be noted that adding these areas to the NNN may be challenging as well, since small and isolated (clusters of) nature areas likely need to be both expanded and connected. This may be especially problematic in areas with intensive agricultural land use. Therefore, agricultural nature management is likely part of the solution. Beside land use, nature policy, funding, and social networks have been identified as socio-spatial conditions playing a role in expanding the NNN in Friesland. This research is put in a broader academic debate about rewilding projects. Besides, this research is reflected upon and suggestions for future research are provided as well.
