Bois Brûlé walk

Description

A walk through a rich flora and fauna, coniferous woods and hedges.

The paths we tread on this walk allow us to discover the mosaic of environments typical of the farming and forestry activities of rural Ardenne.

Production areas (coniferous and deciduous woods, nurseries, pastures) are integrated into a network of hedgerows, blackthorn and willow thickets and small streams bordered by alluvial meadows.

In the middle of the route, the path crosses the "Bois-brûlé". This state-owned forest is remarkably rich in biological diversity: 44 species of butterfly, a wide variety of flora including 3 species of orchid and, among the many nesting birds, the bee-eater, the goshawk, the red-backed shrike, the turtle-dove, the woodcock, etc. Conservation measures have been adopted to preserve this richness: late, alternating mowing and maintenance of wide open paths to allow the sun to reach the ground.
