During these two days, the park’s educational team set up a stand to discover the Crau Plain Grasshopper. The aim was to help visitors discover this unknown insect and its habitat, while having fun!
Among the activities on offer:
Visitors and park staff also joined in a wild flashmob, joyfully reiterating the particularities of the grasshopper… and our engagement to save it!
Finally you can observe them – for real! Or almost…
This spring, our team has prepared a whole programme to discover the Crau Plain Grasshopper
