Guided Visit - Conseil Nature

​Introduction

​A few years ago, ambassador Nina had the opportunity to purchase plots of land in a wooded area together with others. This area covers around 3 hectares in the Ruisseau de Vieux Fourneau valley. The European LIFE programme is supporting in the restoration of these wetlands in the Ardennes valleys. Since then, beavers, a riparian forest, dragonflies, wetland plants and a diverse range of soil microfauna, amongst other things, have established themselves on this land after natural recovery. Recognition of this area officially as a Nature Reserve is currently underway. We invite you to celebrate the creation of this new private nature reserve.

​Come and explore this area with us! We’re organising a short guided walk with representatives from the LIFE-Vallées Ardennaises project (Domaine de Bérinzenne, a non-profit organisation; Clémence Teugels). We’ll also discuss the links between nature and the local area in relation to droughts, floods, pollution, infrastructure…

​The event will take place in a small, friendly group with light refreshments.

​This is a French-speaking event.
