FOREST MANAGEMENT

Sustainable forest management, through both reactive and proactive approach, based on diversity, health and permanent natural regeneration 

                                                                                              Above all, we like to create diversity, a mix and multiplicity of species, which

                                                                                              are the only guarantees of the future forest's health and its ability to cope

                                                                                              with any natural events that may occur.

                                                                                              Permanent regeneration is not only necessary to create life and guarantee

                                                                                              the survival of the species present, but also to obtain the best possible

                                                                                              quality.                                                                                                       

                                                                                              Forest management is not an exact science, but a profession that has

                                                                                              always belonged to simple people, attached to the land and who knew it

                                                                                              because they had learned it in the field, by dint of their work..

                                                                                              While forecasts and long-term management plans provide an overall vision

                                                                                              of the manager's plan, and above all enable the uninitiated to understand

                                                                                              what the technicians are trying to achieve, we all too often tend to forget

                                                                                              that ecosystems are in a perpetual state of adaptation, and that the cycles

                                                                                              reproduced by Mother Nature from year to year are far from identical.

                                                                                              The need to (be able to) constantly adapt to the conditions dictated by this

                                                                                              omnipotence that we imagine we can dominate at will is therefore a reality;

                                                                                              however, being able to anticipate the nasty surprises that Nature is likely to

                                                                                              throw up represents a considerable advantage.

                                                                                              All assets need to be managed in order to promote their growth, and these

                                                                                              costly operations require a financial return to ensure their amortization

                                                                                              through the sale of timber, non-timber or recreational products: this is the

                                                                                              basis of management. Human intervention in the forest is therefore

                                                                                              essential and takes on its full meaning.                                                                                                                                                                                     

From plantations to the forest

Forests and wood are two passions, and the personal commitment to respecting one while ensuring the quality of the other requires a detailed knowledge of the context as a whole and its complexity.

To develop, a forest needs to be taken in hand, and this is the very essence of the silvicultural profession. Setting up upstream requires perfect mastery of the downstream, not to mention a propensity to look to the future: without a long-term vision, the forest's profitability is irremediably compromised.

In all times and places, the forest as a whole has been abused, to the benefit of agriculture and urbanization.

Yet forests are essential to life, preventing erosion, run-off, flooding and desertification. The disappearance of such a complex, rich and diversified ecosystem, home to numerous animal (mammals, birds, reptiles, insects), plant, fungal and microbial species and populations, most of which are interdependent, would have catastrophic repercussions not only for the local populations directly affected, but for the planet as a whole.

While they should not be a pretext for indiscriminate logging, they are an excellent starting point for afforestation of wasteland or reforestation of deforested land.

Whether forested, agro-forested, urban or peri-urban, whether they create jobs, limit migration, contribute to local development and income diversification, and as long as they are properly thought out, in the general interest and not just for economic purposes, the positive impact of plantations on populations and the resulting approach to the forest is self-evident.
