Kentish Stour Countryside Project

EUROPEAN PARTNERSHIP

 
  The Stour Valley is twinned with the Audomarois Regional Park in Nord Pas De Calais in France and has enjoyed a mutually beneficial partnership with this area for many years.

  The Audomarois is now part of Le Parc Naturel Regional des Caps at Marais d'Opale. Regional Natural Parks in France are areas with ecological, heritage and landscape value. They are managed, much like countryside management projects in the UK, as a partnership of local government, business and community, working for conservation, education, heritage protection and sustainable social and economic development.
