From rock to humus
A land to be preserved
The land that carries us is a precious and fundamental heritage. The association Living land offers you to take the time to look at it, to observe it, to get to know it.
By becoming aware of what constitutes it, its evolution and its essential nurturing function, we will invite the public to reflect on the importance of its preservation.
A discovery trail
Visitors will be able to follow a route on five sites where they will be shown different soil conditions, from the rock flush with the surface to deeper ground. They will learn how traditional agriculture has tamed the land and worked to make the best of it while enriching it, preserving it. An introduction to the knowledge of its composition as well as information on practices respectful of life and natural cycles will be the main thread of this journey.
