The Marais d’Epagnette is characterized by vast areas of wet meadows and low-lying marshes, maintained for decades by extensive grazing. The non-grazed areas of the Grand Marais d’Epagne are dominated by vegetation of tall grasses mixed with reeds (reedbeds), progressively colonized by willow thickets. Not only do these significant open (non-wooded) areas offer unique landscapes, but furthermore, the diversity of the environments and the management carried out to date allow for the expression of exceptional flora and fauna, bringing together numerous protected, rare, and threatened species at the scale of Picardy or even France. Numerous uses – and users! – coexist in the marsh (grazing, hunting, fishing, walking, mowing, wood cutting…), a significant challenge to reconcile all these practices, while preserving this exceptional natural heritage. The Conservatoire d’espaces naturels has been working since 2008 on the preservation of this site in partnership with the municipality, the Conservatoire de l’espace littoral et des rivages lacustres, and private owners. These 150 ha of marsh are crossed by a path that allows visitors to see, throughout the seasons, the Fritillaria pintade, a protected plant, or the White Stork. https://www.cen-hautsdefrance.org/site/les-marais-depagne-epagnette/
