LES BLONGIOS<\/h1>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text][\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_column_text]The association Les Blongios organizes ecological worksites led by volunteers, mainly in the region “Hauts-de-France”, from 1 to 15 days, for the preservation and the restoration of natural environments.<\/p>\n

The association supervises groups (school groups, social centers, handicapped groups, works councils, etc.) and educates the participants to discover the natural environment. The activities are based on soft techniques of management of natural environments such as the digging of a pond, the landing of banks, the planting of hedges, the cleaning of ditches, the topping of willows or the clearing of brushwood.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”30px”][vc_separator type=”normal” color=”#009444″ thickness=”1px”][vc_row_inner row_type=”row” type=”full_width” text_align=”left” css_animation=””][vc_column_inner width=”1\/4″][vc_column_text]Field of activity\u00a0<\/b>

What was the trigger?<\/h2>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]In 2016, volunteers expressed the desire to create a working group dedicated to reducing the ecological footprint. The association then created the Agenda 21 working group to reflect on its impacts and possible actions. This initiative was quickly validated by the board of directors[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”full_width” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern”][vc_column width=”1\/4″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”3\/4″][vc_empty_space height=”30px”][vc_separator type=”normal” color=”#009444″ thickness=”1px”][vc_empty_space height=”30px”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Running the project<\/strong><\/h2>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Before the existence of the Agenda 21 working group, the implementation of actions depended on everyone’s interests. This group met regularly from 2017 to 2019 and gathered one employee and 5 volunteers coordinators of nature worksites already conscious of the environment. During these meetings, good ecological practices for mobility, purchases and use of equipment emerged and were integrated into the coordination training program, which aims to train volunteers wishing to be coordinators of worksites. Thus, sustainable development in the association has become more structural because good practices are systematically transmitted during the training of new volunteers.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”full_width” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern”][vc_column width=”1\/4″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”3\/4″][vc_empty_space height=”30px”][vc_separator type=”normal” color=”#009444″ thickness=”1px”][vc_empty_space height=”30px”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
