Project description

Reforest'Action invites you to plant on a plot devastated by a beetle attack!

The planting project at a glance:

 

  • Number of trees to be planted: 9,044 trees
  • Planting area: 6.8 hectares
  • Species planted: Douglas fir, larch, pine
  • Type of project: reforestation of a dying forest following a disease
  • Planting date: Fall - Winter 2019-2020
  • Certification: PEFC

Context of the project:

Formerly a plantation of giant fir and black pine, this plot was cut down in 2011 following a disease. Indeed, a beetle, the European spruce beetle, has ravaged the trees of the massif. The previous owner then left the parcel abandoned. The current owner wishes to reforest the plot by adapting the species to the environment in order to replant it over the long term. 

First observed at the end of the 19th century, the beetle colonizes spruce forests (spruce stands) from eastern France. The beetle attacks spruces at all stages of their development, from egg to larva to adult. They dig tunnels in the deep bark of trees to feed or lay eggs. These boreholes weaken the trees, disrupting and limiting the circulation of sap and thus their good development. The wounds that the insect inflicts sometimes lead to the death of the tree, they can also weaken it to such an extent that other pests develop and kill it.

The plantation that is being carried out on this project will accommodate several species, Douglas fir, larch and tamarack pine. This diversity is very important, as it promotes biodiversity because each tree species has its own biodiversity procession. Hardwood trees will be planted around the edges of the plots, which will increase resistance to storms and fires in particular.
