François Misse is a farmer and veterinarian in Tohogne, a district of the town of Durbuy. In 2024, we had the opportunity to launch a first planting project with him.

Satisfied with the service (thanks to our collaboration with Trafic), François expressed a desire to continue planting!

Is his dream becoming a reality?

As you may know, François raises Belgian Blue and Wagyu cattle. And because he is a committed individual, he also serves as a veterinarian for cattle.

His objective: To promote the well-being of his animals, which led François to approach PlantC again to complement his hedge lines.

Hedge lines (in green) and tree alignments (in yellow)

After surveying the plots in 2024, we identified several locations to strengthen the hedge network in 2025. As the farm is surrounded by forests, the hedges will significantly contribute to the ecological network of the area, stabilize the soil and improve runoff management while protecting his livestock from the sun and strong winds.

Furthermore, a 405-meter tree alignment will eventually provide a tree layer within the hedges…
