Pin laricio (Corse)

Cèdre de l'Atlas

Chêne vert

Ce projet vise à réimplanter de la végétation forestière dans une zone aux conditions particulièrement rudes. Les Pins de Weymouth initialement présents ont dû être abattus en 2020 à la suite d’une tempête. Située sur un haut de bosse, la parcelle est battue par les vents et entourée de plaines. Il y fait chaud et sec, et le sol est particulièrement superficiel. Il est difficile de trouver des essences capables de résister à ces conditions, où peu de régénération naturelle subsiste. Après plusieurs essais infructueux, le propriétaire souhaite utiliser des essences adaptées au contexte méditerranéen, qui puisse recréer ne ambiance forestière et petit à petit favoriser le retour d’essences plus diversifiées.

Preservation of local biodiversity by providing suitable habitats and resources.

This project is located in the Aveyron department, close to the Monts de Lacaune Regional Nature Park. Aveyron is a department with very little woodland, mainly because of the harsh conditions it faces. Aveyron's forests are mainly made up of deciduous trees, oaks and beeches. The 20% of coniferous trees are mostly Douglas fir, pine and fir. Aveyron's forests are highly fragmented, and 90% of them are held by private owners, often with plots of less than 4 hectares.

The aim of this project is to re-establish forest vegetation in an area of the Aveyron region where conditions are particularly harsh. The original Weymouth pines had to be felled in 2020 following a storm. Situated on the top of a hump, the plot is battered by the winds and surrounded by plains. It's hot and dry, and the soil is particularly shallow. It is difficult to find tree species that can withstand these conditions, where there is little natural regeneration. After several unsuccessful attempts, the owner wanted to use species adapted to the Mediterranean context, which would recreate a forest atmosphere and gradually encourage the return of more diverse species. Once restored, the forest will help combat climate change by storing atmospheric carbon. The newly planted trees will recreate areas for biodiversity while improving the structure and fertility of the soil.
