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.
Use of effective tropospheric ozone-removing species or scientific experiments.
Pépinières Naudet is one of the main French producers of young forest plants, which are planted all over France.

This project is taking place in Sainte-Colombe, a commune located in south-western France, in the heart of the Landes department. This region is known for its vast forests, a legacy of the famous Landes massif, and for its sandy soils, rich in biodiversity and ideal for agriculture and forestry. The Landes region, historically shaped by the planting of pine trees in the 19th century to reclaim the land and boost the local economy, enjoys a temperate oceanic climate, characterised by mild winters and moderate summers, which are favourable for the development of a variety of forest species. The local economy is based on timber production, agriculture and green tourism, with a growing focus on environmental preservation and sustainable resource management.
This project involves creating 2.56 hectares of forest in place of low potential agricultural lands, using a mix of black locust and pedunculate oak.Planting is scheduled for winter 2025/2026 and will sequester 1,014 tonnes of CO2eq over 30 years*.
Socio-economic: Local forestry companies will be commissioned for this afforestation project. In addition, PEFC certification of the afforestation is planned to ensure sustainable management.
Biodiversity: The species chosen have been studied to withstand global warming while being adapted to current soil and climate conditions.
Climate change: Most of the species chosen help combat pollution linked to tropospheric ozone (at low altitude), which is harmful to plant health.
* The final value of the estimate will only be established after verification by an independent auditor and an administrative verification decision.
