Examples: expansion of forests close to urban and peri-urban areas, use of wood materials to naturally regulate humidity.
Examples: diversity and locality of crop species, preservation of habitat for local flora and fauna, presence of beehives for pollination.
Pépinières Naudet is one of the main French producers of young forest plants, which are planted all over France.

The project is located in the municipality of Le Vicel, on the Cotentin Peninsula (Manche), an area characterised by a landscape of hedgerows, meadows and scattered woodlands. Although forest cover here is relatively limited compared with the national average, afforestation plays a vital role in maintaining ecological connectivity, protecting the soil and helping the region adapt to climate change.
The afforestation will take place on agricultural plots that are no longer in use. This afforestation project will create 4.88 hectares of forest, using a diverse mix of tree species consisting solely of deciduous trees. The afforestation will help to expand adjacent forests. Planting is scheduled for late 2026 / early 2027 and is expected to sequester 1,602 tonnes of CO₂eq over 30 years*.
Biodiversity: Five different tree species have been selected for this afforestation project: pedunculate oak, downy oak, American red oak, common chestnut and sycamore maple. The chosen species have been selected for their resilience to climate change whilst being well-suited to current conditions. The planting will help to expand adjacent forest patches. A mixed planting pattern, with trees of different species planted side by side within each plot, is planned to enhance resilience to climatic hazards.
Air filtration: the project is located within the Cotentin urban community and helps to improve air quality in this urban area.
* The final value of the estimate will only be established following verification by an independent auditor and an administrative verification decision.
