Commission Management Terrils Borinage

The Management of Terrils Borinage Natagora association began in October 2007 under the impetus of nature lovers and mining heritage.
Its objectives are the conservation, protection and safeguarding of slag heaps and wastelands resulting from former mining land and awareness of nature protection, environment and our local heritage.


The Commission, comprised solely of volunteers, is currently managing two nature reserves. She also works to expand the project to ensure that in future new reserves can be created around other former mining lands and other heaps.
Both current reserves are: Ø

Marcasse Nature Reserve Nature Reserve and surroundings

Nature Reserve and surroundings Marcasse located on Wasmes (Colfontaine), covers 11.5 hectares of protected area made up almost entirely by the heap of Mark and a moor near to it, resulting from exploitation of a heap in the 80s. Ultimately, this reservation should be extended to other neighboring heaps. Agreements with landowners in this direction have already been taken.

The biodiversity of the reserve is remarkable. Habitat diversity is indeed important and allows you to find wildlife and a very interesting flora.
because you can observe woodlands, slopes mobile dense beech forests, beech forests clear summital shaven lawns, large open areas of heath type, natural ponds ... All on a little more than 11 ha ...

As stated above, this diversity of backgrounds allows the implementation of a remarkable procession of flora and fauna for Borinage.
Among wildlife, there are many forest birds (tawny owl, the long-eared owl, birds ...), different peaks of open circles (the Stonechat, the grasshopper warbler, the rousserole ferverole ...), the blue-winged grasshopper, the natterjack toad, etc..
Among the flora are: the dwarf cotton, the sandwort leaved thyme, fireweed to lanceolate, the inula Conyza the Leontodon changing the carline, etc..

But the vast richness of this subject stems from its position on the outskirts of a densely populated and built. This heap contributes fully to the mesh and forms a green oasis of nature amid the region of Mons-Borinage.
addition, slag heaps are an important part of social and cultural identity of the inhabitants of this region. Reserve therefore also to protect this element of our identity.


The main purpose of the reserve is of course the preservation of biodiversity. For this kind of sites are held regularly (every first Saturday of the month). Cleaning operations and program records of plant and animal has also been established.
The Committee also works to raise awareness about the protection of nature and environment of the local population. To do tours, educational projects, demonstrations and other activities are implemented in collaboration with several local partners.

heap Frederick

Nature Reserve heap Frederick is the second establishment in the Board of Management Terrils Borinage.
This reserve, fully incorporated by Bing Frederick, is located northeast of Dour, along the brook Chafer.
The major advantage of this reservation lies in its role as landscape, in its role as a relay for the ecological network and its proximity to the neighboring population of Dour and Boussu.

The Frederick Bing, its 131 meters above the valley of Chafer. At its foot, the grazier-wooded character of the valley makes the site more attractive.
The coal mining on the site stopped in the early 30. The heap was then grazed. After the Second World War, left more or less abandoned, it has gradually wooded. Currently, forest vegetation covers most of the heap: a mixed forest of ash and wild cherry trees on the eastern slope and pedunculate oak on the north side. The south-west, less wooded, would, by using appropriate management measures (clearing bracken and thorn) to recreate a typical open lawn.

As for the nature reserve of Mark and surroundings, the proximity the local population is a major advantage of this reservation. This advantage will be exploited in a wider project to educate local people in conservation and the environment.
