Bouillon Cube leisure centre (Causse-de-la-Selle, France). This group visited the Domaine du Brunet vineyard, which uses organic farming methods.

“Goupil at Nicouleau” volunteer group. Our project partners, the Goupil Connexion wildlife hospital, have been working with a group of volunteers to adapt the recently acquired Nicouleau estate. The farm will eventually house an environmental education centre and a hospital. As a first step, the group decided to make the area a friendly place for wildlife such as little owls and squirrels. To do this, they ran a workshop on nesting boxes, which they assembled and installed.
