On Saturday, the Maharin plain, named after the stream that crosses it and the last tributary of the Adour, on its left bank, in Anglet, will be able to measure the environmental relationship that it has generated among the Angloys. And this Maharin picnic, organized by the Neighborhood Council, under the leadership of Jean-Paul Ospital, deputy mayor in charge of blocks A and B and Alexandre Mendes, leader of the neighborhood councils, will show how far we have come. A birthday present this Saturday for Mayor Claude Olive who made his protection and his environment the priority of his first mandate. Remember that it was inaugurated in September 2016.
Seven years later, the health of the 7.2 hectares of this landscaped and intergenerational plain, materialized by the neighboring Epad and monitored and maintained daily by two city gardeners, is flourishing. As Marie-Laure Guillemin, from the Environment department, testifies: “We particularly observe three hectares of the estate which constitute seven refuge islands, maintained under conservation management. A real wealth for fauna and flora. This humic zone has preserved and developed its capital. »
An oasis in Maharin
The growing success of its attendance has translated in a few years into an increase in joggers in its paths, walkers, yoga enthusiasts, families and their children, who take advantage of the wooden games and the equipped cabins, but also the residents of the neighboring Epad for whom a short route has been designed to help them maintain their mobility.
Faced with this attendance, the town hall decided to open an oasis at the beginning of the year, in the form of a food truck. An appeal has been launched. The “Dinguette” project, led by two young women, Audrey and Séverine, was selected.
Takeoff from the picnic
La Dinguette also brought joy to the fifty or so gardeners who occupy the three plots of allotment gardens on the estate and who can testify to the quality of its land and the harvest carried out this summer. “Last year, after two years of interruption due to Covid, we felt a real takeoff of the picnic. “, notes Alexandre Mendes, “We almost were overwhelmed by demand. And this year with the forecasted weather, there is likely to be a record attendance. »
Introduction to selective sorting
An initiative which corresponds well to this exceptional place, Bil Ta Garbi, which in addition to providing additional bins to protect the premises will hold an information stand to educate visitors about selective sorting. Finally, proof of the intergenerational will and the health benefits of the Maharin, an Angloy, Pierre-Louis Blex, urban walker and ambassador of book boxes who line the public places of Anglet, will organize a walk in the neighborhood to do so to know. His taste for walking is known. He completed the route on foot, Anglet and Ansbach, the Bavarian twin town.
