The
assets of the territory
|
| |
| Before...
|
|
Until
the C19th every village had many craftsmen (clog
makers, coopers, blacksmiths, saddlers, etc.).
With the passing of the years, these small traditional
units increased (forges, brickyards, tile works, etc.),
Women and girls worked at home for a hosier from
a nearby town.
But these ways of working evolved with the passing of
the years and so the centres of production concentrated
little by little in the most important town in the
canton.

|
 |
| |
|
...today
:
|
|
Small
and medium sized industrial and crafts firms are the
most numerous in the territory:
- on average 8 salaried employee per establishment,
- 100 establishments with more than 50 salaried
employees
-4 establishments with more than 100 people.

forestry, industrial joineries, carpenters, furniture
makers, etc.)
There is also the food industry here.(production
of flour in the region of Brienne - L e- Château)
•a base of specific skills: firms in the textile industry
follow in the tradition of Troyes as a knitted wear
centre, metallic joinery firms have also developed
specific skills. |

The
territory of the Forêt d'Orient Regional Nature Park
has to obey the same rules as unclassified territories.
The scheme director orients the territories in their
future vocations and thus guides local decision-makers.
No other rules control the territory and its inhabitants.
There is no supplementary control for the installation
of firms in the territory.
Just as the 37 other territories classified as
Parks, the Forêt d'Orient Park benefits from a preserved
and exceptional environment, source of daily well-being.

A
reasoned waste management programme
|
|
|
|
The intercommunal organization of the Park, through
its Hygiene Service, has assured for several years the
collection of household refuse in more than 50 communes.
In the year 2000, four waste collection
centres were opened in the territory of the Park.
The organization of waste sorting will complete this set
of measures.
Thus, for the inhabitants, as well as the tourists,
hygiene and the environment are being well taken care
of , without forgetting the recycling and the development
of certain recoverable waste, source of savings on the
one hand and a limiting of the many tons to be buried
in the technical centres on the other hand. |
