France forest restoration

After successive attacks from parasites, fungus, and fires, three forests in France are in desperate need of restoration: in Puy-de-Dôme, Haute-Vienne, and the Sarthe regions.

Sustainable Development Goals

8. Decent work and economic growth

Forest contractors and the sawmill

are located within 50 km of the project 

13. Climate Action

5,400 tonnes of CO2 mitigated

from the three forests over 30 years 

15. Life on land

16 hectares

of forest managed 

The Solution

These projects aim to restore the forests and address biodiversity conservation through careful management and the planting of a large variety of tree species, such as pectin fir, beech, maritime pines, downy oak, oak, and black locust trees. Minimally intrusive soil work will avoid excessive disturbance of the existing ecosystem including leaving dead trunks and large trees standing to maintain biodiversity refuges.

The Impact

These projects manage a combined total of 16 hectares with 24,000 trees planted to strengthen the three forests and help diversify edges. The biodiversity island will evolve freely over 5% of the project area. These efforts will allow wildlife to flourish, support the forests' adaptation to climate change, and help prevent future forest fires.
