Project life

Chevannes schoolchildren plant trees at the riding school

December 2023 – For one morning, 90 children from the Centre elementary school came to the site to take part in the renaturation of the various wooded hillsides. More than  of 500 saplings have been planted. Local species: cherry, privet, birch, hornbeam, willow, viburnum, European charcoal, common beech, field maple, common hazel. 

Resumption of soil inputs in February 2022

In February 2022, the ECT site reopened its doors to inert soil.

A complete, environmentally-friendly equestrian center

The addition of soil allows the terraces to be shaped on several levels. These terraces will house the equestrian facilities for the riding arena and dressage, while the cross-country course is planned for the hillsides. Land reclamation and reuse finance all these developments.

The various plateaus are integrated into a landscaped setting of green landscaping and wooded hillsides.

Opening of a new ECT site in Chevannes, Essonne, to build an equestrian center.

ECT opens a new site on June 8, 2019. The purpose of this site for recycling inert soil from building sites in the south of the Ile-de-France region is to create an equestrian center.

The equestrian project has been “eco-designed” in conjunction with the Comité départemental d’équitation de l’Essonne, the commune of Chevannes and landscape architect Laurent Latte of CPA Conseils. The project defines the equestrian development zones as well as the site’s environmental and biodiversity management.
