House of the Natural Park of the Two Ourthes

Houffalize

On an initiative of the communes of La Roche, Houffalize, Bertogne, Gouvy, Tenneville and Sainte-Ode, the project for the creation of the Natural Park of the Two Ourthes was launched. Since June 2000, the six communes have become one inter-communal association.For a fifteen-year period, this will take the form of a non-profit making organization responsible for the creation of the park and the implementation of a series of specific actions. In order to take advantage of financial aid from the Walloon government, the inter-communal association must follow four axes in the execution of its project: protection of the environment, conservation of nature, land management, and rural and economic development. Indeed, the main objectives of the future park are to work towards the region⤙s promotion, its economical and social progress and the conservation of its environmental quality.
