The first, created in 1996 by [[Natagora]], covers an area of 27.13 ha and features a [[Mediterranean climate]]. The site's geology was formed through the extraction of [[limestone]] in the village of [[Chokier]] from [[Ancient Rome|Roman times]] until the 20th century, with three quarries, the most impressive of which was still operational in the 1950s; this is the one visible from the Meuse basin. Among the fauna and [[flora]] observed here are the [[Peregrine falcon]], the [[Eurasian eagle-owl]], the Apennine rock-rose, and the [[Hippocrepis comosa|hairy fruit salad]].<ref>{{cite web |lang=fr |title=Aux Roches |url=https://www.natagora.be/reserves/aux-roches |website=Natagora |access-date=2021-05-12}}.</ref>

The second reserve, created in 1978, covers 12.1 ha. This reserve is a so-called [[Strict nature reserve|strict]] reserve, meaning it is left as it is with no human intervention allowed. In terms of fauna and flora, one can observe the [[Eurasian goshawk]], the [[Eurasian kingfisher]], the [[Fire salamander]], and the [[Epipactis helleborine]].<ref>{{cite web |lang=fr |title=Rognac |url=https://www.natagora.be/reserves/rognac |website=Natagora |access-date=2021-05-12}}.</ref>
