Spring Festival

Nature wakes up, flowers bloom and migratory birds return. It's a day for young and old to enjoy colourful, creative workshops, activities full of surprises and guided tours to find out more about the Pointe à la Bise natural reserve behind the scenes.
It will also be a chance to celebrate the new raft for Common Terns, which has just arrived in the nature reserve. The first raft, in place since 2009, hosted a colony of 19 pairs of terns last year - something that hadn't happened since 2013! - as well as the 1st breeding of Black-headed Gulls on this site. Following this success, Pro Natura Genève has decided to set up a 2nd raft to increase the breeding sites and chances of these threatened species.
