Project presentation
ECT is restoring the former Houdoux quarry in Val Saint-Germain (91) to its natural state. The project aims to breathe new life into the site by recreating a variety of natural environments : meadows, dry grasslands, shrubbery and wooded areas.
The rural path used by hikers on the GR 11 D trail will be preserved and will soon offer a view of the redeveloped site, allowing visitors to discover the new natural landscape.
These developments enhance the site while promoting local biodiversity. The work is being carried out in compliance with environmental regulations and regulations on the traceability of the materials used.
