What does this pond restoration project include?
The latter, supported by the Espaces association which works for integration through urban ecology and the restoration of wetlands, “is part of a global management approach to preservation and restoration of a network of terrestrial and wet ecological continuities on the watershed of Ru de Vaucresson”, indicates Mathilde Baudrier, head of the water, environments, eco-grazing divisionin a press kit.
Indeed, it has been “marked by increasing urbanization which has led to the canalization of the river and the weakening of the present faunal biodiversity”. “Employees in integration will use techniques from plant engineering to restore and create a network of ponds in this basin,” specifies Mathilde Baudrier. In total, this project will represent an amount of 152 302€.
