    The Pétria slag heap, known as “Seat No. 1” was created between 1870 and 1926. It was then exploited and reworked as part of the recovery of coal shale and residual coal.

    Bought by the City of Fontaine-l'Evêque in 1995, the Pétria slag heap was classified as a "Natura 2000" zone in 2002. In 2020, the site became an approved nature reserve for batrachians following substantial developments aimed at protecting natterjack toads and midwife toads: excavation of temporary ponds, cleaning of sludge tanks to make them a breeding site, cleaning and clearing of the Babelone pond.
