Natural spaces come alive

The Pink Granite Coast is home to exceptional biodiversity, with fragile ecosystems, rare species and unique landscapes shaped by time. To preserve this balance, a number of sites have been classified as protected natural areas, including the Léguer valley, the Sept-Îlesand the Trégor moors.

There are a few simple things you can do to protect these areas: stay on the marked paths, don’t pick any plants, avoid disturbing the wildlife and take your rubbish home with you. Observing without touching is already protecting!

Yes, the ideal is to use binoculars and adopt a discreet attitude. Some animals, such as Sept-Îles seals and seabirds, are very sensitive to human presence. It’s best to keep your distance and respect quiet areas.

Some areas are temporarily closed to protect flora and fauna, particularly during breeding or nesting periods. These measures ensure that species are preserved and that nature is preserved for future generations.

Dawn and dusk are the best times to see wildlife in full activity. Nature changes with the seasons: in spring, the flowers bloom and the birds sing, while in autumn, the migrations offer a fascinating spectacle.

Yes, a number of associations and local players are organising awareness-raising days, nature projects and rubbish collections along the coast. It’s a great way to combine discovery with a commitment to the planet!
