Our slogan says it all: building diversity.

As an entrepreneur with a strong commitment to corporate social responsibility, I have been looking for ways to reduce and offset my ecological footprint for quite some time. In that search, I was repeatedly offered projects involving tree planting abroad. Yet it never felt right to me. My life and my work are rooted here — so it is here that I want to give something back to nature.

I also noticed that many nature projects remain limited to a one-time action. Trees are planted, but afterwards there is often a lack of follow-up and care. For us, nature restoration is not a moment in time, but a thoughtful and long-term vision. It starts with the soil, develops around fauna and flora, and grows through a multi-year plan in which balance is central. It is not about simply planting a hundred trees and waiting to see what survives, but about creating a resilient ecosystem.

Forests are disappearing, flowers are becoming scarce, and animals are losing their home. That is why we are committed to nature restoration: to give space back to life — for animals, people, and future generations.

When we were privately looking for a new place to live, we were immediately drawn to this location. The combination of the house and the surrounding five hectares of land offered a unique opportunity. Here, the foundation was laid to turn our vision into reality — and that is how vzw Equi-Libi was born.

Location

In Koningshooikt near Lier, a natural domain is growing where flower meadow, forest and silence meet.

It is a place where people find peace during yoga or forest bathing.

But just as much, it is a refuge for birds, insects and wild animals from the area.

Through the maintenance of this domain, space is given to biodiversity and natural abundance.

• 🐦 A resting place for birds
• 🦔 A passage zone for small mammals
• 🦋 A paradise for insects
• 🌾 A flower meadow that nourishes biodiversity
• 🌳 A forest where natural processes are given space
