Poplars (koster) were planted in low density over 0.77 hectare. These will be accompanied by natural regeneration, with beech being one of the main species. This therefore involves two parallel forest stands. In total, this project involves 1,154 trees, representing 390 tons of CO2 with the help of PlantC. A project conducted in partnership with the Royal Forestry Society of Belgium.
Project Supported by
A poplar plantation with natural regeneration
This involves reforestation of a forest devastated after biotic attacks (bark beetle, ash dieback). The plantings were carried out in autumn 2020 and will be verified by the Royal Forestry Society of Belgium in summer 2021.
In Attert, this involves a poplar reforestation initiative conducted in parallel with natural regeneration primarily based on beech. This planting replaces a 0.77-hectare monocultural spruce plot affected by a health issue. In total, this project involves 1,154 trees, representing 390 tons of CO2.
Visit to the plot in 2022
On June 15, 2022, the PlantC team visited the site. It is clear that the planting is thriving!
Natural regeneration and poplars coexist to reforest this plot! During the visit, we observed the significant development of herbaceous and shrubby flora! A true refuge and feeding zone!
