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.
Pépinières Naudet is one of the main French producers of young forest plants, which are planted all over France.

Situated in the department of the Gers, the commune of Castelnau d’Auzan Labarrère lies at the heart of an iconic region in south-western France, renowned for its rolling landscapes, agricultural wealth and way of life. The Gers, a land of traditions and history, enjoys a temperate oceanic climate, conducive to biodiversity and diversified agriculture. This rural area, steeped in Gascon identity, is characterised by its vast agricultural and natural spaces, where croplands, meadows, vineyards and woodland coexist. The local economy relies in particular on viticulture, livestock farming, cereal production and the utilisation of forest resources. Against this backdrop, the municipality of Castelnau d’Auzan Labarrère offers a particularly favourable environment for implementing projects focused on sustainable development, the restoration of natural areas and the creation of new forest stands.
The project involves creating 5.45 hectares of woodland on plots that have been used as grassland for several years and were historically vineyards, using a mix of Taeda pine, Atlas cedar and black locust. Planting is scheduled for the winter of 2026/2027 and will enable the sequestration of 1,599 tonnes of CO₂eq over 30 years*.
Socio-economic: Local forestry contractors will be commissioned to carry out this afforestation project. Furthermore, PEFC certification of the afforestation is planned to ensure sustainable management.
Biodiversity: The planting will create new linear deciduous hedgerows along the edges of the plots. The three tree species selected have been chosen for their resilience to global warming whilst being well-suited to current soil and climate conditions.
* The final value of the estimate will only be determined following verification by an independent auditor and an administrative verification decision.
