Background information
This parcel of more than 12 hectares is located in the commune of Cult, in the Haute-Saône department. Previously populated by spruces, it suffered intense summer droughts in 2018 and 2019. The population being weakened, did not resist the attack of the bark beetles. The owner thus wishes to restore the stand, this time by planting larch trees, Douglas fir trees and sycamore maples.
This tree planting project will create a real forest ecosystem. The establishment of several species will diversify habitat and resources for local biodiversity. This will also make the stand more resistant. The wood production will be used to fuel local activity.
