Maison de la Nature de l'île d'Oléron

Descriptif

The Maison de la Nature de l'Ile d'Oléron is dedicated to the knowledge and respect of biodiversity as part of the protection of nature and the environment. Its main aim is to raise awareness of the need for eco-citizen action to protect our natural heritage. A number of discovery activities are offered both inside and outside the Maison de la Nature:

- The cultural center for the natural marine heritage of the Charentais Pertuis provides a better understanding of the exceptional biodiversity of our coastline, the threats posed by pollution and major natural hazards, through a fun and educational trail adapted to a very young audience, exhibitions and outdoor tours.

- Nature outings for families or individuals, with nature guides to discover the marine environment, the forest, the dunes, wild plants and remarkable protected sites in Oleron;

- family treasure hunts at a number of emblematic natural sites, with logbooks and GPS units on loan for the duration of the investigation;

- nature escapades for older children;

- nature workshops introducing aromatherapy and phytotherapy, and making your own cosmetics;

- discovery classes on a standard or customized program, with our specialized "marine environment for sustainable development" animator.
