Sensitive natural
space of the plain

The natural site of the remote du Plain in Damelevières, a former meander of the Meurthe, is home to a diversity of wetlands, including a forest of European interest. A wetland is a space where water is significantly present for at least part of the year and where vegetation, where it exists, is characteristic. This type of environment is of major interest in the water cycle. In particular, it performs the important functions of flood control and water purification. On the ENS du Plain, the remote, the wet meadow, the alluvial forest, the ponds and the reed beds are the different habitats that make up the wetland. The remoteness of the Plain is classified as a fishing reserve by prefectoral decree (fishing prohibited from 1 February to 30 April).
