Residents and breeders join hands to ‘reopen the landscape’

Sister Ines and Noisette graze in the meadow below Thanenkirch. The sight seems banal, but their presence in these places is the realization of an unprecedented project, a project of residents mobilizing to rediscover rural landscapes.

They were able to convince many landowners that the wasteland was being gradually encroached upon to allow the land to be made available to the breeder. It prevents the development of wasteland by grazing cattle there.

First cleaning by volunteers

The project is unique because it is only when local authorities create AFPs to locate farmers It is rare that the initiative comes from the residents themselves.
