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.
Examples: Consideration of wetlands, use of adapted species, drip-connected irrigation tools.

Thénouville is situated in the Eure department, at the heart of an area of large-scale cereal farming typical of the neighbouring Neubourg plateau, where soft wheat, rapeseed and fibre flax predominate — Normandy being the world’s leading producer of high-quality flax. The commune has around thirty farms and more than 800 ha of declared agricultural area, set within an open-field landscape where woodland is fragmented. With a forest cover of around 23 per cent, the Eure is the most forested department in the former Upper Normandy region. The conversion of these 3.25 ha of agricultural land into woodland helps to expand pockets of nature within an agricultural plateau.
This afforestation project will create 3.25 hectares of woodland using a diverse mix of tree species consisting solely of deciduous trees. The afforestation will help to expand adjacent woodlands. Planting is scheduled for late 2027 / early 2028 and is expected to sequester 952 tonnes of CO₂eq over 30 years*.
Biodiversity: Five different tree species will be planted: sessile oak, downy oak, wild cherry, wild service tree, and service tree. The species were selected for their suitability to both current and future local ecological conditions. The project involves creating new linear broadleaf borders along the edges of the plots. A tree-by-tree mixture of these species is planned to enhance the stand's resilience against unforeseen risks.
Water resource preservation: This afforestation project is located near a water abstraction point. The new stand will help improve local water quality.
Socio-economic impact: The forestry contracting firm is based within a 50–100 km radius of the planting site. This choice contributes to local economic value.
* The final value of the estimate will only be determined following verification by an independent auditor and an administrative verification decision.
