Created in 1991, the ESAT Le Morvan in Montsauche, located in the heart of the Morvan Regional Natural Park, is one of the facilities within the Work Assistance Program.
The ESAT Le Morvan has successfully leveraged local wealth: wood, particularly Douglas fir, which is naturally resistant for outdoor use, by working with it in various forms.
- It welcomes up to 39 disabled workers and provides daily support for its users and manages various adapted workshops and services: Production of outdoor wooden furniture for local authorities
- Production of birdhouses and feeders, Christmas nativity scenes, and insect hotels for large retailers
- Green space maintenance for private individuals, professionals, and local authorities.
The ESAT Le Morvan holds the "Morvan Nature et Talents" label, which meets specifications regarding its geographical location and local wood purchasing. This guarantees "very" local sourcing, mutual support between companies, and the desire to promote Morvan authenticity by showcasing the territory.
