Picardie has nearly 200 mi of inland waterways and approximately a fifth of its surface is covered with forests, especially in the area around Soissons. Champagne has a profusion of vineyards and a few rivers and canals make up part of the landscape around Saint-Quentin. Many migratory birds use the mouth of the river as a resting place and lay their eggs in the region. 543 acres of dunes, marshland and forests in the Somme are dedicated to the "Parc du Marquenterre", a protected zone for birds.
