      Despite having a population density of 400 citizens per square kilometer, there’s plenty of Wildlife in The Netherlands, most particulary in the province of Gelderland. The forest-rich ridge of hills called The Veluwe features many different landscapes including woodland, heather, some small lakes and Europe’s largest sand-drifts.
