"In 1991, the risk of seeing this wetland area privatised led the Municipal Council to create a "Sensitive Natural Area" by delegation from the General Council (now the Departmental Council). In twenty years, the commune was able to acquire more than 10 hectares, and thanks to a rural contract with the Department and the Region, it was able to build a footbridge, fence off the meadow, and re-establish the river that crossed the land.

The original idea was to graze sheep or horses on the land, which was done for a few years, but could not be sustained for lack of candidates.

As soon as the 2020 election was held, the municipal team took up the dossier for the renovation of the site, with the help of the services of the Department and the EPAGE (Etablissement Public d'Aménagement et de Gestion) of the Loing, which made it possible to reopen the meadow areas, to clear a path allowing access to the site."
