To promote environmentally-friendly agricultural practices and production, as well as specific know-how and the image of the Ardennes.
In the Park’s territory, the agricultural zone extends westwards over the Plateau de Rocroi, the Val de Sormonne, the Ardennes Thiérache and, to a lesser extent, northwards over the Pointe de Givet. Identified as a fragile agricultural area, it occupies 45% of the surface area of the region. There is a tendency for grassland to be converted to cereal crops. From a landscape point of view, the challenge lies in maintaining the livestock farming vocation in the western part, as well as preserving the hedged farmland system.
Our missions
The role of the Ardennes RNP is to reconcile different uses and ensure a balance between economic development and protection.
