I started ornithology in the early 80's with the CORIF, and I have been a member of the LPO since 1988. I began to get seriously involved in the board of directors of the LPO Vendée from 2004 to 2007 as a secretary. Then, following my retirement in Angers, I joined in 2013 the board of the LPO Anjou of which I have been president for two years. It is to represent the local associations of Pays-de-la-Loire as well as our Coordination and to connect field work and the national association that I invest myself within the board of directors of the LPO France.
