Terre Vivante, in the heart of the Trièves, has been campaigning for more than 40 years for the practice of daily ecology. This is a unique place where wilderness and cultivated areas are combined in a 50-hectare forest estate at an altitude of 750 m.
Terre Vivante offers three activities in the service of practical ecology:
- Practical books for living ecologically on a daily basis;
- A magazine on organic gardening, Les 4 Saisons – organic gardening, permaculture, alternatives;
- An ecological centre to practice, experiment, transmit and train.
