Core offering

CPIE des Boucles de la Marne is a nonprofit environmental association delivering nature outings, school educational animations, and group activities, alongside biodiversity consulting and ecological transition support for municipalities and businesses in northern Seine-et-Marne. Its services are anchored at the Maison du Grand-Voyeux within the Réserve Naturelle Régionale du Grand-Voyeux and extend to participatory science programs, interactive exhibitions, communal biodiversity atlas projects, and wildlife distress guidance.

Product overview

CPIE des Boucles de la Marne is an environmental association (Centre Permanent d'Initiatives pour l'Environnement) that functions as a single, unified offering — a nonprofit service organization rather than a commercial product company. Its portfolio consists of environmental education and sensitization programs, biodiversity knowledge and preservation services, and community support for the ecological transition. The core services include public nature outings (Sorties grand public), school animation programs (Animations pour les scolaires), and group activities (Groupes constitués), all delivered from its base at the Maison du Grand-Voyeux within the Réserve Naturelle Régionale du Grand-Voyeux. These are complemented by interactive exhibitions on wetlands and biodiversity photography, participatory science programs (Sciences participatives), a resource and documentation center, and wildlife distress guidance. On the consulting side, the CPIE provides biodiversity atlas programs (Atlas de Biodiversité Communale), municipal support (Accompagnement des collectivités), and business support (Accompagnement des entreprises). The annual Plaquette des animations serves as the master catalog of all programs, while the Escape Game on bats represents an innovative educational game product. The organization joined the national CPIE network in June 2022 and covers the northern Seine-et-Marne territory.
