Stichting Landschapsbeheer Zeeland (SLZ) is a professional non-profit organisation working for the management, restoration and development of nature and the cultural landscape in Zeeland, the Netherlands.

Its work is largely carried out by around 2,500 volunteers, who perform more than 46,000 hours a year. SLZ also runs education, volunteer programmes, landscape advice and biodiversity projects. It is a CBF-certified charity and is designated as an ANBI (public-benefit institution), and it is a member of the national umbrella LandschappenNL. Funding comes mainly from the Province of Zeeland, supplemented by project income from municipalities, the water board and private individuals.
