The black stork (Ciconia nigra) is identified as a protected and endangered species and is considered one of the area’s most important conservation concerns.
Hiking
The Boucle Montignoise is a moderately difficult 14 km hiking route marked in yellow, with a stated duration of 3 hours and 45 minutes. It crosses the Ruisseau de Meulot and offers viewpoints over the Vallée des Amognes and the Forêt des Amognes, as well as views of a bocage landscape of alternating meadows and hedgerows. It also passes a restored forest pond where woodland life can be observed. Its points of interest include the Lavoir de Rigolas, one of five covered communal washhouses from the 19th century in Montigny-aux-Amognes.
