The regional nature reserves

The first 2 regional nature reserves were created in 2008. They protect sites with an exceptional botanical heritage. 

The Reuves Marsh regional nature reserve (51)

This former voluntary nature reserve of 64 ha was classified as a regional nature reserve in 2008. Reuve Marsh is part of the marshes of Saint Gond and has a wealth of flora and fauna specific to wetlands (216 flower species identified). It is managed jointly by the Regional Council and the Conservatoire du Patrimoine Naturel de Champagne-Ardenne.

The Côte de Bois en Val regional nature reserve (08)

This regional reserve (14 ha classified in 2008) is located close to Charleville-Mézières. Its principal asset is the variety of habitats which comprise it: forests, dry grasslands, ponds... and hence the many species that live there.
