Label Bas Carbone
Examples: reducing the frequency of soil cultivation, minimalist plot preparation, restoring organic matter and preserving soil microfauna.
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.
Pépinières Naudet is one of the main French producers of young forest plants, which are planted all over France.

Located in Nièvre department within the Morvan Regional Natural Park, Planchez enjoys a rich forest environment shaped by local history and geography. This hilly area, with its temperate and humid climate, is marked by extensive stands of coniferous and broadleaf trees, crucial for rural economic activity and biodiversity. Nièvre, once a region of mining and agriculture, now focuses on its natural heritage through sustainable forest management, vital for the local economy and landscape preservation.
Due to the shortening of cold winters, which regulate insect populations, bark beetles are growing exponentially and eating away at stands. In the spruce forests of eastern France, the impact is considerable.
This epidemic mainly affects the forests of northern and eastern France and causes rapid decline, even death, of trees. This phenomenon is easily identifiable by stands turning from green to brown or white, becoming sensitive to the slightest gust of wind. These "dry" woodlands eventually collapse to the ground, leaving desolate landscapes and no longer capturing CO2. If the forest is neither adapted nor renewed, this situation can lead to its gradual disappearance. Since the trees no longer have any value, forest management is also compromised. This is referred to as a "forestry dead end."
This 3.7-hectare reforestation project will store 1,104 tons of CO2 equivalent over 30 years*. The plots affected by the project were completely harvested due to bark beetles. Unfortunately, the existing stand was almost monospecific, and reforestation is therefore essential. A mixture of species better suited to prolonged warm periods was chosen, based on Douglas fir, American red oak, and hybrid larch.
Socioeconomic: A local forestry company (less than 50 km from the site) will carry out the reforestation.
Soil preservation: The plot will be superficially cleared before reforestation to preserve microfauna and forest soil carbon.
Biodiversity: Reforestation is very targeted in the dying zone of the massif and will allow the introduction of hardwood trees.
* The final value of the estimate will only be established after verification by an independent auditor and an administrative verification decision.
