Réserve naturelle régionale du Scamandre, Regional nature reserve in Vauvert, France
The Scamandre Regional Nature Reserve extends over 146 hectares of wetlands, featuring marshes, ponds, and reed beds along the southern shore of Lake Scamandre.
The area transformed from sheep grazing pastures to a voluntary nature reserve in 1994, before receiving its regional nature reserve status in November 2006.
The reserve maintains a discovery center in a former sheep barn, now housing exhibitions and documentation about local ecology and natural environments.
The reserve operates from Tuesday to Saturday between 9:00 AM and 6:00 PM, with multiple trails ranging from 500 meters to 4 kilometers through different landscapes.
The site contains one of Western Europe's largest reed bed areas and hosts every heron species found on the European continent.
