Reforestation in Grupont

In Grupont, this is a reforestation project where PlantC supports 2,000 trees. Three species are planted!

Composition of hardwoods and conifers for the reforestation of approximately 1.73 hectares. As a reminder, the reforestation is due to the presence of bark beetles.

Using a diversity of species is beneficial for avifauna (flowers, fruits, and acorns, food sources for birds, insects, and small mammals, for example). When leaves fall, humus is generated, and root systems are complementary. This will impact the recycling of deep elements, the biological activity of the soil, the fixation and structuring of the soil.

• Planting period: February 2023.
• Rate verification: >80%
• 260.63 tons of CO₂ sequestered over 30 years.

Project conducted in partnership with the Royal Forestry Society of Belgium.

Visit to the Grupont Plot in 2024

Wow! Indeed, the plantation is quite impressive in this location.

Why? Two reasons:

1. The plants are perfectly suited to the site. This means that the soil of the plot is perfectly suited to the planted species, which ensures good growth of our plants.
2. The view is simply breathtaking from the plantation. Look!

The recovery rate is quite good on the plot, reaching 90%. Which is excellent!

It should also be noted that the owners, having the time to take care of their plot, provide special attention to the young plants and remove competition (weeds, brambles, etc.) when it interferes, which ensures their longevity.

See you soon for more forest visits…
