Réserve naturelle régionale du Scamandre, Regional nature reserve in Vauvert, France

The Scamandre Regional Nature Reserve covers wetland areas with marshes, ponds, and extensive reed beds along a lagoon. The site features multiple pathways through these different habitats and several viewpoints for observing wildlife.

The site was first protected on 10 November 1994 as a voluntary nature reserve named "Domaines du Buisson gros et de la Fromagère". Its meadows had long served as sheep pasture, and the main building was a sheepfold, which gave the name Fromagère to part of the site. It was reclassified as a regional nature reserve on 29 November 2006.

The visitor center occupies a converted sheep barn and displays exhibits about the local wildlife and wetland ecology. Visitors can explore the area's natural features through photographs, objects, and interpretive panels.

Multiple walking trails of varying lengths lead through different sections of the site, offering different experiences depending on your preferred route. Wearing sturdy footwear helps, and early hours are best for spotting wildlife.

All nine heron species breeding in Europe nest or feed in the reserve: grey heron, purple heron, night heron, squacco heron, cattle egret, little bittern, little egret, great egret and great bittern. It also shelters a large share of France's glossy ibis population.
