An ecological management guide to ensure the long-term future of our green spaces

Every ECT green development project is part of an approach to environmental enhancement and biodiversity preservation. This consideration of ecological issues begins at the design stage. It must continue after the site has been restored. After renaturation and revegetation by our development teams, a management and maintenance guide is drawn up. It is then sent to the site owner. This document provides targeted recommendations to ensure that the restored environments are maintained.

A concrete commitment to biodiversity

ECT is an Entreprise Engagée pour la Nature with the Office Français de la Biodiversité. Our projects promote biodiversity in urban and peri-urban environments. Integrating environmental concerns into site management is a priority. This guide is an essential tool to support managers in their ecological approach.

The guide is structured to address all the issues at stake:

  • The history of the site and a description of its development
  • Specific recommendations for different ecological environments : open spaces, wetlands, forests and shrublands, orchards, meadows and paths.
  • A detailed maintenance schedule for each type of ecosystem
  • Equipment recommendations

A tool integrated into our environmental approach

This guide is fully in line with the objectives of standard X32-001, integrated into our ISO 14001-certified Environmental Management System. It illustrates our determination to ensure sustainable monitoring of our developments and to promote ecological management practices adapted to each site.
