Grand Duke Guillaume learned more about the Foundation’s program to acquire more forest land to strengthen nature reserves, and he was presented with the Foundation’s program to reintroduce freshwater pearl mussels and river mussels into the Our River.

These mussels are an endangered species, and raising them is very complex. However, they play a vital role in improving the ecological quality of the Our River. They help preserve the river ecosystem through their high water-filtration capacity.
