In 1995, the pupils in science in year 2 won the first prize « UAB Nature », thanks to a bats protection project

This first prize, for which they received a 3 750€ cheque, allowed us to move from the conception to the realization of this project. 

This meant: 
• Providing winter shelter by closing in 2 sites to allow bats hibernation.
• Building and installing summer shelters
• The installation of an old orchard site behind the school in order to get food for the bats

In Autumn 1996, a quickset hedge was then planted all around the orchard. 
In spring 1998, a pond was installed and in 2003 a weather station was added. 

The installation of this orchard has allowed, time after time, the development of a natural biotope ,by increasing biodiversity. Moreover ,this area extends the natural site of Beaumont (classified as Natura 2000) and therefore takes part in the ecological plan of the area.
