De Groene Jonker is a beautiful nature reserve near the Nieuwkoopse Plassen in the province of South Holland. It is a relatively young nature reserve that has developed into an important place for many bird species and other animals. The area is approximately 100 hectares and consists of a mix of shallow ponds, reedlands, bushes and grasslands. The landscape of De Groene Jonker is therefore a varied and attractive habitat for a diversity of flora and fauna.

One of the characteristics of this area is the rich bird life. It is a birdwatcher's paradise, with a variety of bird species visiting or breeding in the area, including spoonbills, waders, ducks, and geese. De Groene Jonker is an important stopping place for migratory birds, especially in spring and autumn. The purple heron, the black tern and various species can also be spotted here.

The wet parts of De Groene Jonker are particularly valuable for amphibians and fish. The flora in the area is also versatile with special plant species that thrive in the practical and rich food conditions.

The area is open to visitors, with several hiking trails and viewpoints from which men can admire nature. De Groene Jonker is managed by Natuurmonumenten, and the management is aimed at preserving and increasing the natural diversity of the area, while also providing space for recreation and education. Together with the Nieuwkoopse Plassen, the nature reserve forms a unique and important nature reserve in the Green Heart of the Netherlands.
