AGRO-ECOLOGICAL APPROACH
• educational materials:
Orchards, gardens, parks,
hedgerows, wild animals
• supervising and maintain the
site in accordance with the
nature and the environment
• agro-ecological approach for the
management of this area
 It aims to encourage the living to "learn" to defend against attacks (viruses,
parasites ...) without the use of chemicals (insecticides, herbicides, fungicides,
chemical fertilizers).
 To promote the relations of the plant or animal with its environment and to
create space for an agricultural ecosystem.
The farm animals
Furry and feathered
"Calves, cows, pigs, brood ..."
But also horses, donkeys, goats, sheep, rabbits live peacefully on 4 ha of Écolothèque.
The lower court also meets all kinds of ducks, turkeys, geese and pigeons.
All these animals lived peacefully and wait until the children come to feed them, cure
them, or watch them walk.
Chosen for being friendly, they allow you to safely discover the joys and responsibilities
of livestock, and respect for animal life.
