Wetlands are areas filled with water on the surface or in the ground. Considered oases of biodiversity, they are preserved or relocated during clay extraction, with the help of specialized associations. As for certain plant areas (areas of dense vegetation or thick hedges), they are also protected and preserved during this period.

To anticipate the development time, some trees are planted when the clay deposit is opened. At the end of exploitation, Bouyer Leroux undertakes to densify the hedgerow network.

The development of old clay deposits into bodies of water has brought back many animal species.

On certain Bouyer Leroux sites 🧱🌳, the arrival of endangered species such as the crested newt (🐟) or the tern (🕊) has also been observed.
