Following the success of the 2006 initiative, the Caisse d’Epargne Centre Loire bank and Mission Val de Loire have decided to resume their partnership at the helm of the "maintaining and enhancing the banks of the Loire" project for autumn 2008 – spring 2009.
The
initiative undertaken in 2006 enabled ten projects to be
completed in the Loir-et-Cher and Indre-et-Loire departments.
More than 130 people from back-to-work schemes worked on
landscape restoration and plant engineering.
This initiative serves three
purposes:
-
raising awareness among local people of the issues
involved in maintaining and enhancing the banks of the Loire, an
area attracting increasing numbers of visitors;
-
attracting government attention to the types of initiative
which are compatible with the quality of natural
environments;
-
training people from back-to-work schemes in these
issues.
The new 2008 initiative will take
place on four sites: the banks of
Tours
,
Blois
, Saint-Denis-de-l'Hôtel and
Germiny-des-Prés,
in partnership with neighbouring
local authorities, departmental community facilities departments,
the Centre regional authority and its
Natural
heritage conservatory.
The aim is to:
-
create plant windows
onto the
Loire
in
Tours
;
-
improve the left bank and create a
right of way as a future
Loire-by-bike
route
in
Blois
;
-
improve the towpath
on the right bank by consolidating
the embankment which is suffering heavy erosion in Saint Denis de
l'Hôtel;
-
maintain the riverside
meadows
at
Germiny-les-Prés.
The completion of this work,
coordinated by the RIVE design office, is accompanied by a
training module run by
CPIE Val de Loire
in the Touraine and an "information for local people" module
created in partnership with the local authorities
concerned.
These projects are designed to be
benchmark projects reflecting the
landscape
quality which is the objective of Mission Val de Loire in
the management of the area accorded UNESCO World Heritage
status.
