Projet de plantation EU_US_4 0123X000000a0LeQAI_4.jpg

Douglas

Mélèze d'Europe

Pin sylvestre

En Occitanie dans le département de l'Ariège, ce projet se situe en moyenne montagne aux alentours de 1100m d'altitude. Dans cette hêtraie presque monospécifique, la régénération naturelle d'autres essences est compliquée du fait de la forte concurrence du hêtre. Dans un objectif premier de diversification, le porteur de projet a choisi de créer des trouées forestières, de 0,5 à 1ha en moyenne, dans lesquelles il introduira de nouvelles essences adaptées. Elles pourront également produire un bois de qualité, stockant le carbone sur le long terme. Les trouées créées permettront également le retour de la myrtille en sous étage, favorable au développement des populations de grand tétras. Cet animal occupant plutôt les forêts résineuse, ces plantations de diversification créeront sur le long terme des habitats potentiels pour cet animal.

Contributes to the mitigation of the greenhouse effect and influences precipitation patterns and the local microclimate.

Influences the quality and integrity of the soil-water system, and the cycling of water and nutrients.

Preservation of local biodiversity by providing suitable habitats and resources.

Supports human well-being, by providing resources, income, education, and supporting recreation and heritage.

The forest is used by capercaillie. These openings encourage the return of the bilberry stratum and the mixed planting of a small proportion of Scots pine is intended to improve the forest's ability to accommodate this species.

This project is located in the Ariège department of western France, in the mid-mountain region at an altitude of around 1,100 metres. In this almost monospecific beech forest, the natural regeneration of other species is complicated by the strong competition from the beech. With the primary aim of diversification, the project promoter has chosen to create forest gaps, averaging 0.5 to 1 hectare in size, into which he will introduce new, adapted species. They will also be able to produce quality wood that stores carbon over the long term. The gaps created will also allow the return of bilberry undergrowth, which is favourable to the development of capercaillie populations. As capercaillie tend to live in coniferous forests, these diversification plantations will create potential habitats for capercaillie over the long term.

Située dans la Nièvre, à Montreuillon, ces parcelles forestières anciennement constituées d’épicéas, vont faire l’objet de travaux de RNA visant à assurer l’avenir des arbres. Cette méthode, plus douce et naturelle que la plantation, apportera de multiples bénéfices, en plus de permettre le renouvellement du peuplement. Aujourd’hui, 77 055 arbres font l’objet de travaux sylvicoles visant à favoriser leur croissance dans de bonnes conditions. Cette démarche diversifiera la composition du peuplement, le rendant ainsi plus résistant face aux aléas climatiques et biologiques. La densité d'arbre sera réduite pour laisser de la place aux tiges d’avenir. Des voies d’accès seront aussi mises en place, permettant d’effectuer les travaux sans perturber l’écosystème. Cette gestion favorisera le développement d’une biodiversité, tout en préservant le sol. Par ailleurs, la restauration de cette forêt permettra de stocker du carbone, participant ainsi à la lutte contre le changement climatique. 

This forest is located in the Morvan Regional Nature Park, a highly touristic area where the planting and exploitation of Douglas fir is much criticised, particularly for reasons of landscape, biodiversity and soil protection. The owner is currently faced with the decline of the pectin fir, Douglas fir and spruce, and therefore wishes to work towards an irregularisation of the stand based on the natural regeneration present, and thus obtain a mixed hardwood/softwood stand with a view to moving towards a mosaic forest.

Located in Montreuillon in the Nièvre region, these forest plots, which used to be made up of Spruce trees, will undergo assisted natural regeneration (ANR) work to ensure their future. 

77,055 trees are already undergoing silvicultural work to promote their growth under good conditions. More gentle and natural than planting, the ANR method will allow the renewal of the stand and its diversification to make it more resistant to climatic and biological stresses.

This management will encourage the development of biodiversity, while preserving the soil. And by restoring this forest, it will be able to store carbon to help fight climate change.

Érable sycomore

En Nouvelle-Aquitaine dans le Creuse, le massif se trouve en périphérie du PNR de Millevache, traditionnellement géré avec des rotations par coupes rases. C'était le cas sur ces parcelles il y a une vingtaine d'années jusqu’à ce que l'ancien propriétaire reboise en douglas. Le manque d'entretiens réguliers a partiellement compromis le développement des conifères, au profit d'autres essences pionnières. Le projet de régénération naturelle assistée repose sur l’identification et le détourage des plus belles tiges de douglas, de bouleau et de chênes. Un travail semblable est réalisé afin de valoriser les feuillus peu présents sur la parcelle. En outre, les taillis de noisetiers trop denses sont coupés afin de développer une régénération naturelle plus diversifiée. Enfin, si nécessaire, de l’érable viendra enrichir le massif. À terme, la forêt accueillera une faune et une flore locale riche, et contribuera à la lutte contre le réchauffement climatique grâce à son rôle de puit de carbone.

This project is located on the outskirts of the Millevaches regional nature park, traditionally managed with clearcutting rotations. This was the case on these plots about twenty years ago until the former owner reforested with Douglas fir. The lack of regular maintenance has partially compromised the development of conifers in favor of pioneer species.

In Nouvelle-Aquitaine, this assisted natural regeneration project aims to restore the diversity of a massif weakened by a lack of maintenance. 
The assisted natural regeneration project is based on the identification and cutting of the best Douglas fir, Birch and Oak stems and on developing hardwoods that are sparse on the plot. The coppices of Hazel, too dense, are also cut in order to develop a more diversified natural regeneration. Maple will be added to the massif if necessary.
Eventually, the forest will host a rich local fauna and flora, and will help to fight against global warming through its role as a carbon sink.

Chêne pédonculé

En Meurthe-et-Moselle dans le Grand-Est, la forêt d’Ormes a fait l’objet d’une forte coupe en 1975. Avec le temps, cette futaie de chêne s’est régularisée et le nouveau propriétaire souhaite favoriser le renouvellement de son peuplement en diversifiant les essences qui le composent. Afin d’accompagner une régénération naturelle déjà présente sur 35% de la surface, le projet prévoit de conserver les semenciers présents, de conduire des travaux sylvicoles pour valoriser la régénération présente et d’enrichir le peuplement d’essences diverses indigènes pour accélérer la régénération du massif. Cette diversité apportée viendra enrichir la biodiversité sur la zone et ainsi créer de nouveaux habitats. Les arbres valorisés seront plus résistants et le patrimoine génétique qui se développe sur les parcelles sera conservé.  À terme, le projet permettra d'augmenter la capacité d'accueil de la faune et flore locale et contribuera à la création d’un puit de carbone dans cette zone.

This oak grove is located in Meurthe et Moselle, 25 kilometres south of Nancy, in a highly agricultural area that suffered from heavy harvests in the 1980s. 

Today, to continue to have an economically viable forest that is welcoming to biodiversity and useful for soil and water protection, the owner wants to work on natural regeneration and the irregularisation of the stand to obtain a mosaic forest.

The new owner of this Oak high forest wishes to diversify the species in it. 
In order to support a natural regeneration already present on 35% of the surface, the project plans to conserve the current seed trees, to conduct silvicultural work to enhance the existing regeneration and to enrich the stand of various native species to accelerate the regeneration of the massif. 

This diversity will enrich the biodiversity of the area and create new habitats. The recovered trees will be more resistant and the genetic heritage that develops on the plots will be preserved. 

Eventually, the project will increase the capacity of the local fauna and flora and will contribute to the creation of a carbon sink that will help in the fight against global warming.

Pin maritime

Situé en Gironde, cet ancien parc de chasse, en reconversion pour devenir une forêt accueillant des zones de biodiversité, a malheureusement dû faire face à un incendie en avril 2017. Ravagé par les flammes, il doit désormais être reboisé afin d’avoir un avenir plus serein. En plus de restaurer cet écosystème dégradé, les 28 750 arbres plantés permettent d’avoir une forêt diversifiée. Cette démarche favorisera le développement d’une biodiversité riche et variée, encouragé par la présence de plusieurs points d’eau. Par ailleurs, les arbres plantés stockeront du carbone, participant ainsi à la lutte contre le réchauffement climatique. Enfin, ils assureront également une continuité forestière sur la zone et participeront pleinement à la formation d’un patrimoine forestier résilient.

Located in Gironde, this former hunting park, which is being converted into a forest hosting biodiversity zones, unfortunately had to face a fire in April 2017. Devastated by the flames, it now needs to be reforested in order to have a more serene future. In addition to restoring this degraded ecosystem, the 28,750 trees planted will provide a diverse forest. This will promote the development of a rich and varied biodiversity, encouraged by the presence of several watering holes. In addition, the trees planted will store carbon, helping to combat global warming. Last but not least, they will also ensure forest continuity in the area, playing a full part in the creation of a resilient forest heritage.

Reforest’Action is joining forces with the Ivorian company Agro-Map to support cocoa producers in the forest of Séguié in the Agnéby-Tiassa region, Ivory Coast, in the restoration of the forest and in the creation of agroforestry systems, which will make it possible to reconcile trees and crops in order to maintain a microclimate favourable to the development of agriculture. Over 200,000 are planted on 450 hectares.

The main objectives of the project are the development of agroforestry, the restoration of a classified forest, the preservation of biodiversity and the economic development of the populations. By restoring their environment: the local communities of Agnéby-Tiassa will also improve their food security.

Supports human well-being, by providing resources, income, education, empowerment, and supporting culture and spirituality.

Deforestation in Ivory Coast, if not halted, could lead to the total disappearance of the country's natural forest cover within the next twenty years. The 234 classified forests in the country, including the Séguié forest in the Agnéby-Tiassa region, where our project takes place, have lost more than 70% of their forest cover in half a century. This is due to extensive agriculture and cocoa production, which have gained ground on the primary Ivorian forests, and the unsustainable exploitation of these forests to meet the growing need for firewood. This loss of animal and plant biodiversity is now causing climatic changes throughout the region, in particular a reduction in rainfall and the appearance of increasingly long periods of drought, which often have a fatal effect on the crops of local communities. 

Agro-Map is an Ivorian company specialising in the development of sustainability projects in the agricultural, forestry and environmental fields. Its objective is to reconcile agriculture and forestry in order to maintain a microclimate favourable to the development of agriculture. The Agro-Map team is in constant contact with farmers and builds strong partnerships with local communities.

Reforest'Action is partnering with the Ivorian company Agro-Map to support cocoa farmers in the Séguié forest in restoring the forest and creating agroforestry systems, which will allow them to reconcile the trees with their crops. By restoring their environment, the local communities of Agnéby-Tiassa will also improve their food security and income.

The project takes place in the Peruvian Amazon, in the region of San Martin. Their principals’ objectives are fight against deforestation, preserve endangered tree species, restore degraded ecosystems and reassess more species of native flora. To achieve these the project incentives the restauration through an economic incentive to the beneficiaries and provide, technical support for agroforestry systems.

Historically located around the city of Tarapoto, in the Cordillera Escalera Conservation Area, the project has expanded over the years to encompass three northeastern regions in Peru: San Martín, Loreto and Ucayali. Anchored in the upper Amazon, the project area was originally covered by tropical forests and wetlands. Since the late 20th century, the expansion of agricultural programmes for the cultivation of coffee, cocoa, bananas, maize and manioc, as well as the construction of road infrastructure have led to the massive deforestation of primary forests. The families of the Shawi, Awajun and Quechua ethnic groups are increasingly suffering from the disappearance of natural ecosystems: changes in the rainy season, prolonged droughts and lack of water are becoming commonplace.

Founded in 2004, the Urku Centre, located in Tarapoto, carries out activities to develop Amazonian biodiversity and raise awareness among local communities. Made up of a multidisciplinary team that combines traditional and scientific knowledge, the Urku Centre monitors the production of seedlings in several nurseries, as well as the logistics of the plantations. Alongside local cooperatives, our partner also ensures the recovery and growth of the planted trees.


Initiated in 2015, the project developed in the Peruvian region of San Martín is the first project financed by Reforest'Action at the very heart of the Amazon rainforest. Today, it is no longer about planting trees, but promoting the natural regeneration of the forest. Since 2022, the Urku Centre, which is the project leader on the ground, has been working hand in hand with the Shawi people to fight deforestation and restore degraded ecosystems, without planting. With funding from Reforest'Action, our partner is developing and promoting a range of economic incentives to discourage farming families from further damaging their land through conventional practices or from cutting down the surrounding forest. By allowing nature to take over, many of the region's native trees and plants will be able to regenerate on their own.

Sur cette parcelle, le massif existant, apparu à la suite d’une coupe rase, était issu de la régénération naturelle de pins maritimes. Malheureusement, ce peuplement manquait de densité et de vivacité. Composé d’arbres de faible diamètre et positionnés de manière éparse, l’avenir du massif, situé tout près de l’océan et du lac de Biscarosse dans les Landes, était compromis. La restauration de cet écosystème dégradé et son enrichissement grâce à des essences feuillues favorisera l’accueil d’une biodiversité variée au sein du peuplement. Cette démarche rendra le massif plus résistant et le prémunira contre d’éventuelles attaques biologiques ou aléas climatiques, dont les incendies. Sur la durée, la forêt participera à la lutte contre le réchauffement climatique, grâce au stockage de carbone par les arbres. A terme les arbres assureront également une continuité forestière sur la zone et participeront pleinement à la formation d’un patrimoine forestier résilient.

On this plot, the existing stand, which had emerged following clear-cutting, was derived from the natural regeneration of maritime pines. Unfortunately, this stand lacked density and vitality. The future of this massif, made up of small-diameter, sparsely-positioned trees and located very close to the ocean and Biscarosse lake in the Landes department, was in jeopardy. Restoring this degraded ecosystem and enriching it with deciduous species will encourage a varied biodiversity within the stand. This will make the forest more resilient and protect it against possible biological attacks or climatic hazards, including fire. In the long term, the forest will help to combat global warming, thanks to the carbon stored by the trees. In the long term, the trees will also ensure forest continuity in the area, helping to create a resilient forest heritage.
