1. General information
2. Objectives of the intervention
Goals of the intervention
-"The objective is to exploit this exceptional wetland of 10 hectares to the height of its environmental potential by making it a natural urban park and giving it back its title of green lung of Rouen." (Ref. 2)
-"Our wish is to open this site to the greatest number of people, to make it a space of walk in respecting the equilibrium of the ecosystem" (Ref. 5)
-"The project is co-developed around the three functions of the site: familial and community gardens (existing since 2010), environmental education and market gardening" (Ref. 2)
-"Co-planning the project with all stakeholders" (Ref. 5)
- "Wetlands... are "carbon sinks" that contribute to the alleviation of global warming" (Ref. 1).

Quantitative targets
-Wetland of 10 hectares (Ref. 2)
-"Two market gardening, one area of family gardens, and one wet uncultivated land, and the bank, along the Rouen-Amiens railway, where three watercourses supply water to old trees and biotopes." (Ref. 1)

Implementation activities
-"An organic vegetable gardener has just been installed on a plot of 2 hectares by the association of the "Champ des Possibles" and should be able to sell its products to the public next year." (Ref. 2, year 2016)
-Construction of cabins for family gardens (Ref. 5).
-A work to rehabilitate ponds was launched in the summer of 2016 (Ref. 5)
"Environmental valuation of the range of natural environments and wetlands:
-Creation of a biodiversity reserve
-Management of certain plots by eco-grazing
-Renaturation of watercourses
-Phytoremediation (alternative ecological technique that aims to biologically decontaminate polluted soils)
-Charter of good practices
-Education for the environment: development of a panorama and an educational pathway" (Ref. 3)
-A course has been designed, forming a loop around the allotment gardens, with structures such as a pond observation platform, and a kiosk allowing the reception of the public for the observation of birds. A raised belvedere as well as bridges for crossing streams and benches have also been installed (Ref. 7).
-"Now identified as the second cause of erosion of biodiversity after the degradation of ecosystems,
the proliferation of invasive alien species represents a very real threat to the site of
Repainville. Two plant species are particularly worrying in their capacity for proliferation: Knotweed
from Japan (Fallopia japonica) and an American aster, presumably the willow-leaved aster (Aster salignus)" (Ref. 9).
-"In places, we reach 80 decibels. The wall will reduce to 50, this is very acceptable ” , adds Jean-Michel Bérégovoy. The choice of the wall is in progress" (Ref. 9)
