In La Voulte, a partnership serving the local area
A partnership between the municipality and an equestrian centre produces local forage while maintaining natural areas.
La Ville is committed to enhancing its natural spaces while supporting local stakeholders. The partnership established with "Les Écuries du Parc" is a concrete illustration of this.
A resource for the local economy
At the heart of the Espace nature départemental du Plan, in la Voulte, the municipality is making a two-hectare communal plot available to the family equestrian centre "Les Écuries du Parc".
This natural meadow is used to produce part of the forage needed to feed the establishment's horses, thereby promoting local production.
Hay produced in the spring
Every year, between late May and mid-June, the vegetation is mowed, then gathered and baled. This harvest makes it possible to transform the plot's resources into food for the equines and to limit the need for external supplies.
An asset for fire prevention
This approach is also beneficial for maintenance and risk prevention. The plot is cleared of brush before the arrival of the summer period, which helps maintain a well-kept natural space.

This mowing also helps to limit the presence of vegetation likely to encourage the spread of a fire.
Sustainable management of the territory
With this partnership, la Ville combines several objectives: preserving its natural spaces, supporting a local activity and promoting a reasoned use of municipal resources. A concrete approach that is part of a sustainable and responsible management of the territory.
