On the contrary, an extremely rich vegetation and fauna colonized it. This site has become an original natural area, with high ecological quality. The canal is indeed a marshy environment where water plants, trees and wild shrubs alternate and houses numerous birds. In the good season, one can hear the frogs croak and, if one is lucky, watch the weasel.
