Angers is one of the best French cities in terms of biodiversity.
The Maine-et-Loire prefecture is indeed one of the winners of the 2022 edition of the French Capital of Biodiversity competition, reports
Ouest-France
.
The eleventh edition, which focused on the theme "Landscape & Biodiversity", crowned the Bruche Valley (Alsace) as the French capital of biodiversity for the year.
But four other municipalities were also rewarded: Angers, therefore, but also Saint-Chamas (Bouches-du-Rhône), Saintes (Charente-Maritime) and Laroque-des-Albères (Pyrénées-Orientales).

Parks, gardens and mini-gardens
Angers has distinguished itself by its know-how in horticulture and landscaping, but also by its evolution according to biodiversity issues.
Large parks such as Balzac or Saint-Nicolas were highlighted by the jury, as was the urban micro-forest of Grésillé.
The 505 mini-gardens set up in front of the dwellings were also given pride of place.
The 2023 edition of this competition, on the theme "Trees & Forests", is already open.
It is possible to apply until January 31, 2023 on www.capitalebiodiversite.fr.
