Three-quarters (3/4) of the forests are private, which is equivalent to 12.6 million hectares which belong to more than 3 million owners (these private forests are very fragmented)
Every year in France, forests absorb 70 million tonnes of CO2.
In Lozère the forest represents 44.9% of the area of the department, in the Gard, it is 37%.
The forest is also an economic resource, but it is above all a space to be protected and supported in order to anticipate climate change.
Wednesday November 24, from 6 am, we invite you to discover a national forest, the management of a private forest or the wood industry.
But above all, we invite you to come and plant trees with us, from November 20 to 28. France Bleu Gard Lozère rolls up its sleeves and invites you to accompany the team in the forest to plant a tree.
