Résumé du projet
In the heart of the UK's East Midlands region, a first restoration project has been set up on this agricultural wasteland. Of the 5766 trees introduced, over 80% had been devastated by a severe drought. This second reforestation project takes into account water quality and soil protection in the choice of tree species. Thanks to the introduction of a diverse range of 7 deciduous species, the risks of parasites and disease are reduced. In addition, the afforestation will increase soil stability and improve water quality. This future forest will complement the existing landscape and provide a habitat for local flora and fauna. Finally, the trees will capture carbon, helping to combat global warming.
