Grand Rieu Pond Habitat Restoration

Natagora is working to restore the Grand Rieu meadow reserve, a 24-hectare wetland site near Mons, Belgium, to enhance biodiversity and provide habitats for various bird species like the Eurasian spoonbill and the bluethroat. The reserve, which includes a large pond and a mix of reedbeds and surrounding wetland areas, is being integrated into the larger Walloon Zwin wetland reserve. Future restoration efforts will focus on cleaning up the polluted pond, enhancing reedbed habitats, and improving visitor access with walking paths, interpretive signage, and observatories for wildlife observation. This project aims to connect the reserve with other nearby wetlands, boosting regional biodiversity and ecological health.
