Objective for 2010, the guidelines

The current Parc du Pilat charter was validated by the Prime Minister’s decree in February 2001.

The territorial project: 3 guidelines

The territorial project which is being carried out by local acting bodies according to their skills has 3 main guidelines:

• Affirm the rural identity of Pilat in its urban environment by its own territorial economy, based on sustainable development and preserving its natural habitats and beautiful landscapes
• Establish a harmonious collaboration between the gateway towns, based on the talent and strengths of each community.

• Be open to the region and the rest of the world.

Park plan: 3 spaces

These guidelines have been spatialised over a map of the Park. This distinguishes three spaces where different skills are needed.

• The edges of the Park, which mark a straightforward border between town and countryside.
• The upper areas, vibrant living spaces based on sustainable development.

• The ridges and their surrounding areas, an area of nature that is preserved and looked after.

The logo

A new logo symbolising the territorial project was designed for this charter:

Two firs and one beech tree representing the diversity of the natural forest of Pilat.
A chirat represents the geographic uniqueness of the massif.
These symbols, characteristic of Pilat, are inscribed in an oval with a star above them, which is the logo for the regional nature Parks of France.
