Since its creation, the Department of Seine-Saint-Denis has led a proactive policy in favor of improving the living environment of residents and the ecological transition. With more than 2,500 species of plants, animals and mushrooms recorded, its six parks have obtained the Natura 2000 classification. Particular attention is paid to the ecological management of the sites: late mowing, spaces left in meadows, development for birds and insects, etc.
For the 18th edition of the Nature Festival from May 22 to 26, families will be offered a host of free activities to celebrate spring and the living things that surround them.
A rich program
“The service agents of the six departmental parks, in partnership with associations or other service providers, have planned a lot of educational, artistic, fun – and even culinary – activities around fauna and flora” explains Antoine Chavry, deputy head of office at the Directorate of Nature, Landscapes and Biodiversity (DNPB). “There will be something for all tastes and for all generations…”.

This program, which promotes participatory science, also offers entertaining moments for the youngest with a show of pirates flooded by marine pollution, a life-size investigation imagined by the French Office for Biodiversity (environmental police), a creative animation with a ceramic artist…
These workshops were designed by agents of the DNPB and representatives of associations such as 193 Soleil, the League for the Protection of Birds, the educational collective ArkeoFabrik, the street theater troupe Les Anthropologues, etc.
These professionals will undoubtedly encourage the most motivated to participate in their free time in participatory science programs developed by the Departmental Observatory of Urban Biodiversity. “In doing so, you can, for example, contribute to the census of biodiversity from your balcony by photographing the insects that surround you and sending them to our database” explains Erwan Bielle, environmental educator at the DNPB. “The participants will benefit from training with scientists and will be able to have a real impact on the regeneration of nature.”
A way to get involved as citizens for the preservation of the planet and the renewal of species.
In these times of crisis, they will be grateful to you!
