Résumé du projet
The reforestation project in Joux, in the Rhône department, aims to restore a 3-hectare forest that has been damaged by bark beetles. To strengthen the resilience of the forest, tree species that are better suited to the future climate will be introduced, including Douglas fir, Corsican pine, cedar and maple. The aim is to ensure better adaptation to environmental stress while maintaining ecological functions. Irregular management will be prioritised to diversify ages and species, thereby promoting a more stable and sustainable ecosystem that is better able to withstand climate and health hazards.

Contexte local

With 21% of its land covered by woodland, the Rhône department is almost entirely made up of private forests. In fact, 96% of the wooded area is privately owned, with small properties (averaging 2 hectares) breaking up the department's forests. At lower altitudes, deciduous trees, particularly pedunculate and sessile oaks, predominate. They are accompanied by hornbeams and chestnut trees. Conifers take over in higher areas, with Douglas fir, silver fir and Scots pine.
