| Promoting Natura 2000 at the local level | Outside the traditionnal french Natura 2000 site's Local Steering Committee, Natura 2000's promotion is mainly aiming at local and surrounding populations through different tools and techniques : from the most traditionnal "information evenings", a superb and specifically dedicated colourful leaflet, medias and newspapers inserts, information letters (irregular), to a most didactic sonorized slide-show (also available on video), and finally a magnifiscent book "Moulières, the stones' forest"... all of which are dedicated to carry out to everyone the message of the essential role of Moulière-Pinail's Forest in the constitution of Natura 2000 network. |
