This distinction recognizes the work undertaken by the commune to preserve its natural heritage, promote biodiversity, and improve the living environment for its residents. The award specifically honors the project « An arboretum to preserve, enhance, and pass on our natural heritage to future generations ».
The primary objective of this arboretum is to maintain an open natural space for everyone, serving as a true green lung in the heart of La Jarrie, while actively combating soil artificialization. This project also contributes to the protection of local biodiversity, the maintenance of ecological corridors, and the overall improvement of the living environment.
More than just a planted area, the arboretum is designed as a place for walks, meetings, and activities. It notably includes a natural stage and offers residents a privileged space to discover and observe the richness of local flora and fauna. It also serves as a valuable cool island during heatwaves.
This award highlights the municipality's commitment to making La Jarrie a resilient commune, placing the environment at the core of its development decisions and favoring harmonious and balanced growth. It testifies to the dedication of the commune and its services to preserving and transmitting natural heritage to future generations, thus affirming a responsible approach to territorial planning.
