The 5th annual gala of the Ceïba Foundation was held in June 2026 at Les Arches Castriotes, in Castries, Racines de France®’s regenerative agroforestry demonstration site. Elected officials, sponsors and 26 partner companies gathered under marquees set up among the plots.
€128,000 for agroforestry in Castries
The evening raised €128,000, presented to the Castries agroforestry project. Since 2021, the Ceïba Foundation has mobilised more than €500,000 for nature, and it has supported the Arches project since 2025.
First Ceïba Prize: Oasis Citadine
The gala also marked the launch of the Ceïba Prize, the Foundation’s first call for projects dedicated to nature in cities. The 2026 winner is the Montpellier association Oasis Citadine, for its urban food forests and gardens. It receives €12,000 in donations to develop its project.
An evening at the heart of the demonstration site
Hosting this gala on a site in full regeneration shows in concrete terms what sponsors support: trees planted, soils rebuilding and biodiversity returning, monitored over time. Thanks to the Ceïba Foundation, its partners and all participants.
