The funds raised through this product-sharing initiative help finance tree-planting projects led by the Park, particularly along the waterways used for boat tours.

An initiative to follow

Through this initiative, these service providers demonstrate their commitment to an exceptional and evolving landscape; everyone can contribute to the collective effort and the preservation of this unique landscape. For visitors, staying in the Marais Poitevin offers a sensory experience of the area, an ideal immersion to appreciate the tranquility and beauty of the landscape that must be preserved.

This commitment is encouraging, and the Park invites all service providers who wish to get involved to join the movement.

For several years, the Park and the Heritage Foundation have been working through various actions for the landscape of the Marais Poitevin. You too can participate by:

– Donating to renew the tree cover without needing a boat or bike ride, that’s possible too! Everyone can contribute to this collective effort while benefiting from a tax reduction through the Heritage Foundation (“Fondation du Patrimoine”).
