On March 19, 2026, the Albatross Foundation was delighted to welcome the eco-delegates from the Lycée du Forez for a day of learning, environmental commitment and collaborative work.
A morning dedicated to sustainable agricultural practices
The day began with hands-on soil preparation activities. The students took part in planting potatoes in a plot previously prepared during an initial visit. This activity enabled them to learn about planting techniques, including staggered spacing and planning future crops.
Afterwards, participants were introduced to sowing. After preparing a mixture of potting soil and water, they made clods in which various seeds were carefully placed. An educational and rewarding experience, highlighting the basics of plant production.
An afternoon of observation and planning
The afternoon was marked by a visit from a landscape architect, offering students an enriching perspective on the evolution of the estate. Using old aerial photos, they were able to analyze how the landscape has changed over time, and gain a better understanding of the issues involved in sustainable development.
The day continued with the creation of a hutch, involving field work such as digging and planting. A collective activity that reinforced team spirit and a concrete link with nature.
