Résumé du projet
This project is taking place in the French Ardennes, which have been badly affected by attacks by bark beetles (insect pests), and this forest at Mogues is no exception. The owner wants to reforest his forest in a more diversified way to avoid another health disaster, but also to make his stand more resilient to climate change. The plantation will comprise 5 species. The aim is to manage the forest on an irregular basis with continuous cover, i.e. without clear-cutting, which will encourage biodiversity. Finally, the newly planted trees will help combat climate change by storing carbon in the atmosphere.
Principales essences :
Pseudotsuga menziesii, Picea abies, Fagus sylvatica, Pinus nigra subsp. laricio, Castanea sativa
Nombre total d'essences :
5

Sur le terrain
Contexte local

The commune of Mogues is located on the French-Belgian border in a densely forested region that was heavily planted with spruce trees in the post-war period, most of which are now in a very poor state of repair. The area was also set back by the outbreak of African swine fever in Belgium, which completely blocked the operation and maintenance of many of the mountain ranges along the border.

Actions sur le terrain

Covering just over 2 hectares, the owner wanted to diversify the planting, taking into account the climate and soil, by alternating Douglas fir, spruce, laricio pine, chestnut and beech.
