UNature - CANDLE 2023

The aim of this project is to strengthen interactions between members of the university community and the Domaine d'Haugimont, an exceptional 360-hectare heritage owned by UNamur in Faulx-les-Tombes. To this end, it plans to organize "nature sharing" events (birdwatching, mushroom picking, edible plants, stargazing, listening to the bellowing of the deer...) open to members of the community, as well as raising awareness of biodiversity by observing the animals present on the estate thanks to the installation of solar-powered 4G cameras. Animals that can be observed via the UNamur website include deer, roe deer, wild boar, badger, beaver and raccoon, as well as several species of nesting birds (harrier, tawny owl, swallows, etc.). The project will also encourage UNamur members to integrate the field into their teaching and research activities.
