Wildlife Day at Terre Blanche

This year 2022 was marked by our "Wildlife Days" dedicated to raising awareness among young and old about the preservation of local wildlife!

In partnership with the association from Grasse "PACA pour Demain", fun workshops were offered to our customers to help them discover the wealth of wildlife present at Terre Blanche.

Indeed, Terre Blanche is a true sanctuary of 300 hectares of nature where wildlife can prosper peacefully, far from any agitation caused by human activity. This is evidenced by the presence of many rare endemic plants and animals, such as the Bald Ibis which has found refuge on hole 6 of the Château course!

A fun and educational programme

On the programme of this day, our clients were able to meet the PACA pour demain team as well as the volunteers of the "Centre de Soin de la faune sauvage des Alpes Maritimes" (CSAM) in order to exchange on their actions in favour of biodiversity through playful workshops.

Indeed, adults and children had the opportunity to play a treasure hunt on a tablet designed exclusively for the event and with different levels of difficulty, where it was possible to "save" a small animal virtually (hedgehog, squirrel, owl, etc.). To do this, several tests were organised: quizzes, puzzles, locating the animal in its environment, and as a reward for each level, videos taken by the caretakers during the feeding of these animals!

For the younger children, the activities were more sensory: wooden puzzles, colouring, cutting out, collage... and above all, the creation of a huge "Biodiversity Mural", which was then displayed on the Proshop forecourt at snack time, a source of pride for our little budding artists and their parents.

Emotional moments

During these days, many animals were released, including two young kestrels and swifts on the Terre Blanche site. Children, parents, customers and employees all came together to share this emotional moment: the very first flight of these little swifts.

Did you know that? Once a young swift takes flight, it does not land again for 3 years, until it reaches the right age for reproduction, when it finally leaves the air to build a nest!
