Résumé du projet

This project is taking place in Daon, in the Mayenne region, and follows on from an initial planting project that failed because of the heatwave in 2021. Its main aim is to afforest these neglected agricultural plots, which have not been successfully developed in the past. It will create a diversified wooded area that will store atmospheric carbon. In addition, many of the hedgerows in the area have been cleared for agricultural use, destroying the habitats of numerous animal species. The project therefore involves the creation of 135m of double hedges and the planting of approximately 500m of tall trees, which will help to restore biodiversity habitats by connecting the wooded areas. Lastly, the densification of the former walnut orchard will enhance the value of this already wooded area, while providing a diversity of species that will be more welcoming to biodiversity. This diversified project will have a major impact on the landscape, with the creation of new wooded areas and ecological continuity.

Sur le terrain

Contexte local

The département of Mayenne boasts a number of remarkable natural areas, including peat bogs, very special and fragile wetland ecosystems, hedged farmland and forests. The department boasts a rich biodiversity. There are rare plant species, such as carnivorous and poisonous plants.

Mayenne has very little woodland: only 8.5% of its territory is forested, compared with a national average of 31%. It is the third least wooded département in France, after Manche and Vendée. However, it does have large tracts of forest, such as the Concise forest, the Mayenne forest and the Charnie forest. Mayenne's forests are dominated by deciduous trees, particularly oak. They are home to a remarkable range of wildlife, including roe deer, pileated woodpeckers, small woodpeckers and spotted salamanders, as well as special mushrooms such as the fly agaric, known for its bright red cap with white spots and its toxicity!
