The Hunters Federation of Manche has signed an agreement with the “Conservatoire du Littoral” designating it as manager of grassland at the Avranches hospital. As part of ecological compensation measures after the Couesnon was dredged between 2011 and 2013, measures were taken to restore seven sites around the bay, including those near the hospital.
