In Lavaur, in the Tarn, there is almost nothing left of a three-hectare plot. Several thousand apple trees were vandalized on the night of July 13 to 14. More than three months of work have gone up in smoke. According to an initial assessment, 90% of this plot, which was going from organic to conventional agriculture, has been reduced to nothing. An incomprehensible gesture for professionals in the sector.
Re-establish dialogue with the arborist
An association of residents, who are fighting against the practices of the domain of Fontorbe, today calls for appeasement. She wants to re-establish dialogue with the arborist and avoid a new escalation of violence. Two years ago, the estate had already aroused the anger of the inhabitants of the surrounding villages after using a polluting practice to avoid freezing. Friday, July 14, the Castres prosecutor’s office opened an investigation for degradation in a meeting after this new incident.
