The first phase of restoration work on the Planches Marsh in Murs-et-Gélignieux was completed last August, following five months of collective effort.

The first phase of restoration work on the Planches Marsh, located in Murs-et-Gélignieux, was completed last August. This project, which lasted five months, required close collaboration between companies, project teams, municipalities, and the project owner.
This collective mobilization allowed for daily monitoring of the site and the execution of the work under the best conditions. The interventions included several types of work: earthmoving, stripping, and remodeling of the land.
These operations notably involved the removal of waste from a former incinerator, as well as the deconstruction of several old structures, such as the former railway line, a bridge, and the marsh's old spillway.
