“The year 2024 was overflowing with ideas and actions for the local environmental protection association Terre en vert,” recalled Sylvie Braud, the president, during the general assembly of December 19. The office staff has been enriched with new members, suggesting a very varied 2025 program.
The “usual and brilliant” workshops, in the words of the president, will be repeated with volunteers who ensure their mastery. But other diverse and varied proposals have been formulated. Among them, the bat occupies an important place with the construction of appropriate roosts. The association will have to decide if it wants to become a lookout for the Natural History Museum for a nocturnal lizard: the Mauretania taranta. The protection of the viper snakes will attract all the attention of the members just like the knucklehead lizard.
New developments in perspective
The ponds essential to biodiversity will be one of the themes of study, both at Molière where an activity has been requested at the Montessori school, and at the Paleyrac educational farm which is planning a creation. Ants and crayfish remain the reserved domain of Christian Foin, insect specialist, who still has discoveries to offer. New orchid outings are on the program as is an inventory of the flowering displays. Other activities will emerge over the months, depending on opportunities that arise.
During the month of January, an office meeting will establish a finalized program based on these ideas. Will then be added the traditional seasonal plant swaps and the mobilization of volunteers to help carry out actions, such as the planting of olive trees in Capdrot or orchards in 2024. Beekeeping remains one of the pillars of Terre en green which makes the protection of all hymenoptera (a category of insects which includes bees, wasps and hornets) one of its major concerns.
