Label Bas Carbone
Examples: diversity and locality of crop species, preservation of habitat for local flora and fauna, presence of beehives for pollination.
Examples: territorial dynamics, societal demand, diversification of the activity, local sales/processing, working conditions, sharing of good practices.

This afforestation project is located in Mouron-sur-Yonne in the department of Nièvre (58) in Bourgogne-Franche-Comté. The objective is to afforest a 10-hectare plot already surrounded by woods and thus allow the storage of an additional 3,970 tons of CO2 equivalent in 30 years*. The plot concerned is located on the edge of the Morvan Regional Natural Park, a preserved area with a rich ecosystem. Such afforestation on the edge of the park will extend this ecological continuity.
Biodiversity: The afforestation will consist of two thirds of softwoods adapted to global warming (Douglas fir, Atlas cedar, Nordmann fir and maritime pine) and one third of resilient local hardwoods (sessile oak, chestnut, beech). This mix of 7 species will be very beneficial for the development of biodiversity on the plot.
Socio-economic: PEFC certification is planned for this plantation in order to guarantee its sustainable management. In addition, thinning and cutting will be alternated on the plot, which allows for a continuous mixed cover and makes forestry activity more respectful of the environment. In short the plot will remain permanently wooded despite the cuts.
* The final value of the estimate will only be established after verification by an independent auditor and an administrative verification decision.
