Sunday, June 10, 2012, RTE (Electricity Transmission Network), in partnership with the National Botanical Conservatory of the Paris Basin, the town hall of Marolles-en-Brie, Natureparif, and Vigie-Nature, is offering a botanical walk to discover rare and lesser-known plants that live in the high-voltage corridors of the Notre-Dame forest in Marolles-en-Brie (94).

This unique visit to discuss biodiversity, led by experts including a mediator from the Vigie-Nature program, is the perfect opportunity to ask questions and learn about participatory science observatory protocols (50,000 observations for the forest and SPIPOLL – Photographic Monitoring of POLLinating Insects).
