The Pas-de-Calais is an agricultural region, where wheat, beetroot and maize can all be seen growing in the open fields that cover most of the area.
The region's forests mainly consist of oak, beech and birch trees
and many migratory birds make their nests in the hedges separating the fields.
Hunting is also a popular pursuit in the region, with hares and partridges providing most of the game.
