Human
activity has always changed the environment and in this article in 2014 I
took a quick look at an extraordinary area that since 1980 has been the
first and only State Nature Reserve in the Vienne departement of
France, La Réserve Naturelle du Pinail which is located in the
commune of Vouneuil-sur-Vienne, (86210). The Reserve is 30 km
north-east from Poitiers and 15 km south from Chatellerault where it
sits high on the plains between the river valleys of the Vienne and
the Clain, at the north of the state owned Moulière forest. The reserve is well worth a visit, especially for people with an interest in Odonata, (Dragonflies and Damselflies) CONTINIUED HERE.
