Activists from the Stop Val Béton collective carried out an inventory on Saturday evening while awaiting another within two weeks. The real objective was above all to confirm the existence of these protected species (frogs, toads, newts, salamanders, etc.) The Val Bréon 2 project, 60 hectares of cultivated land in Châtres, on the other next to the railway line, could be reconverted into an economic activity.
"It’s just extraordinary to observe nature. We light up the areas where there is water and we see the newts jumping,” says Guillaume Dartiguenave, member of the collective born in 2019.
