The Nouvelle-Aquitaine Conservatory of Natural Spaces recently welcomed a group of 12 Lot-et-Garonnais students, training in BTSA (1) nature management and protection. The organization which offers this training, remotely, regularly organizes group sessions with its students, to introduce them in situ to “heritage species from different environments, and their management methods”.
During this session dedicated to dry lawns, the group of students has been able to discover, since the end of March, four sites of the department, its managers and its operators, “in order to address different aspects of the profession of natural space manager. »
Between two sessions exploring the world of orchids and restoration work, the BTS students discussed methods of maintaining limestone lawns. They also discussed, with their interlocutors, the difficulties encountered by managers regarding the interventions to be carried out and the priorities to be given in certain sectors, depending on the issues.
