Wetland restoration in Ploërdut

The thinning of vegetation in the midst of overgrown natural habitats and young, peripheral woodlands. Manual logging, primarily among willows and birches, is carried out on the edges and in wooded wetland areas.

The cultivation of ideal conditions for amphibians (and wildlife in general) creates favorable environments for their reproduction. Aquatic insects and dragonflies will also benefit from these newly formed ponds. Their creation will contribute to create a network of wetlands relevant to the ecological continuity of the area.

The preservation of herbaceous plants on the moors, prairies, and fallows ensures a myriad of necessary habitats for certain heritage species. It will also prevent the progressive loss of these types of habitats which otherwise can occur if the surroundings are not humid enough for trees to thrive.

Removal of the vegetation cover and therefore of the blue mounds by shredding

Operations to open up the vegetation in the overgrown areas of open natural environments and in young peripheral woodlands On the edges and areas colonised by woody plants (mainly willow and birch), prior manual felling by lumbering will be carried out.

To improve the conditions for amphibians (and wildlife in general) by creating favourable environments for the reproduction of species. These newly created pools will also benefit many taxonomic groups, including aquatic insects and odonates. The creation of these ponds will contribute to the creation of a network of ponds of interest for the ecological continuity of the environment.

Maintain the openness of the herbaceous vegetation in the moors, meadows and megaphorbia to have a mosaic of habitats necessary for certain heritage species. Prevent the progressive closure of heritage habitats due to the appearance of woody vegetation in less humid areas.
