We propose you to take up a great challenge: to build a wooden footbridge over a wetland!
The project consists in facilitating the access to a resting platform with an exceptional viewpoint on the ponds, the sea and the Canal du Midi! Close to a fitness trail, footpaths and cycle and waterways, this project invites walkers to enjoy walks while respecting nature! The environmental aspect of this project is obviously of prime importance in the planning and organisation of our intervention in the enhancement of this space.
It's a big project and that's also why a large group of participants is planned, with two workcamps organised over the summer. Supervised by a specialist, you will be proud to see the birth of this wooden footbridge! We are counting on your involvement and your seriousness to carry out this mission! It's up to you to take up this challenge if you feel like it!
