Late Winter Thermal Demographic Census: Key Findings
Between February 15 and March 10, 2026, our certified census volunteers conducted eight synchronized nocturnal thermal transects covering 4,280 hectares of mixed forest, garrigue, and agricultural margins. Equipped with high-resolution thermal imaging optics, teams documented wild ungulate presence across sixty standardized observation stations.
The findings confirm a stable population of roe deer (estimated density of 8.2 individuals per 100 hectares), demonstrating healthy forest biodiversity and balanced natural browse impact. Conversely, wild boar sounder concentrations showed an increase along the eastern agricultural interface near Les Pujols, prompting our technical committee to authorize localized preventive solar fencing along 4.5 kilometers of early seedbed borders.

Spring Sowing Protection: Sunflower & Maize Shield Deployment
With the arrival of spring agricultural sowing across the fertile alluvial soils of the Four Plateaux, our agricultural protection brigade initiated the annual "Seedbed Shield" campaign. In coordination with twelve local farmers, volunteers distributed and erected 16.8 kilometers of temporary low-profile solar electric fences designed specifically to deter wild boar rooting while allowing safe passage for hares, foxes, and ground-nesting birds.
Through daily dawn monitoring visits, field volunteers maintained proper wire tension, checked battery charge levels, and immediately repaired any disruptions caused by falling branches or heavy winds. As of April 2026, confirmed crop damage across protected parcels stands at zero hectares.

Limestone Cisterns & Natural Spring Rehabilitation
Anticipating intense summer heat and prolonged dry periods across the upper limestone plateaus, association volunteers dedicated two full weekends in January 2026 to revitalizing six ancient stone waterpoints and natural forest hollows. Accumulated debris, fallen timber, and sediment were cleared by hand to restore natural hydrological percolation.
These secluded water retainers provide a vital sanctuary for amphibians, honeybees, songbirds, and large game, providing essential hydration deep within the woodland interior. By maintaining water sources away from settlements, the project significantly curtails wildlife wandering into residential gardens and highway corridors during high-temperature months.

Annual Shared Space Safety Audit: A Decade of Zero Incidents
At the close of the 2025–2026 winter season, the association safety commission conducted its annual audit of outdoor recreation protocols. Across more than 140 coordinated field management operations, the association logged zero incidents involving non-hunting outdoor enthusiasts, rural residents, or domestic animals.
Key factors contributing to this unblemished record include the strict enforcement of 30-degree safety arcs, the installation of large fluorescent signage at all communal path entrances, and direct phone coordination with regional hiking and mountain biking clubs. The audit recommended increasing the number of QR-linked trail notices for the upcoming autumn 2026 season.
