🏢 About the local organisation
The village of Lagorce, the community of Communes Berg et Coiron and Jeunesse et Reconstruction are joining forces in this project to enhance and protect the Ibie Valley,
This valley presents strong ecological and heritage challenges.
It receives numerous protection statuses (ZNIEFF1 type 1 and 2, ZICO2, Natura 2000, APPB3) because it concentrates a large number of protected flora and fauna species. This area is also characterized by its rich and diverse vernacular heritage.
Thus, this strategy aims to reconcile the socio-economic activities with the ecological stakes of the valley. As part of this process, an interpretation scheme has been developed around the cultural and natural heritage of the Ibie River.
The site of the Torrent and Vachères mills, located in the municipality of Lagorce, will be enhanced by the creation of an educational trail, and ultimately the restoration of the built heritage. . The goal of the site will be to open the interpretation trail.
