The chronicle of January 12, 2023, by Marion Sabourdy, in sound and in text below:
On RCF Isère, it’s time to find the Media Echo with Marion Sabourdy, New Media Manager at La Casemate. You are going to present to us the latest news from Echosciences Grenoble. Hello Marion!
Hello Nicolas. I am very happy to return to your microphone after a long absence. And to somehow celebrate my coming out of hibernation, I want to share with you an article that lists actions to take to help plants and animals get through the cold season. Basically, tips for getting your garden ready for spring.
Hum, but precisely, during the winter, there is not much to do in our gardens!
Well Nicolas, I thought like you, until I came across this article from the LPO, the League for the Protection of Birds and its 10 tips for welcoming biodiversity into your home. Because yes, wildlife is still there and autumn and winter are two seasons conducive to work to prepare for spring flowering.
What can you do right now in your garden, Marion?
So, a few loose examples:
- Build compost to recover organic matter but also reduce waste
- Welcome a hedgehog. We know how beneficial these little beasts are for a garden
- Plant trees as the soils are moist and the ideal temperature for plants to take root
- Fill traps for wildlife, such as gutters, watering cans, tubes, etc.
- Or: pamper your garden by removing troublesome weeds, trimming hedges or mulching the ground
Here you will find 5 other tips in the LPO article on Echosciences. And for each tip, an article that details exactly what to do.
Finally, some fairly simple tips to put in place. And if we want to go further, the LPO offers other avenues?
Yes, Nicholas. You can become an LPO Refuge, even if your garden is very small. All you have to do is follow a few good management practices and set up a few facilities – explained on the LPO website, and presto, you are acting on your own scale for biodiversity!
Thanks for relaying these tips, Marion. Me, I also like to discover biodiversity in nature or in other forms, such as animal photography for example.
Well Nicolas, you will be served. I found an exhibition for you, entitled “The Wild Brothers”. This is a cross-exhibition of paintings and wildlife photography.
The works are created by Bastien and Romain Masson, two brothers passionate about nature, sons of former shepherds, who grew up in the heart of the Mercantour National Park. Very early on, both of them came into contact with wild fauna and flora on a daily basis. The photographer Bastien even met two wolves.
In their exhibition, they say they want to “restore the beauty of endangered biodiversity and show that all forms of art are directly or indirectly inspired by Nature”.
It’s happening at the town hall of Bernin until the end of the month.
Noted Marion, thank you very much and see you soon!
See you soon Nicholas
