Focus on hedges
**Hedgerows, often absent from our landscapes, play an essential role in maintaining the biodiversity of which man is a part. Enjoy a walk on the cottage to understand their interest.**France lost more than 70% of the hedges present at the beginning of the 20th century. Yet, in addition to being a real reservoir of biodiversity for endangered fauna and flora, these heritage shrubs provide an essential service to our agricultural practices, help prevent us from soil erosion, floods and mitigate the adverse effects of the various pollution emanating from our modern activities.
Viorne obier, Dog Rose, Hawthorn monogyne, Yellow Sparrow, Leper, Thecla birch are all symbolic living species that make hedges an irreplaceable place of life! Enjoy a walk on the Gîte, in the company of an animator of the Relais Nature, to discover them and better understand the interest of the protection of hedgerows in our current issues of ecological transition and protection of wildlife.
