On 1 June, Racines de France® brought together at its forest demonstration site of Montignac Forest institutional, scientific and field stakeholders from the Cantal and the Aubrac, around a round table.
The day had two goals: to share progress on the restoration project under way for nearly eight years, and to open a collective discussion on synergies across the territory.
The discussions brought out shared convictions:
- the central role of trees for the territory’s hydrology, biodiversity and climate resilience;
- the need to move away from monocultures towards mixed, resilient forests;
- the value of the link between the economy and the environment.
Thanks to the participants: the Adour-Garonne water agency, the town of Chaudes-Aigues, the Aubrac Regional Nature Park, AgroParisTech and PEPR FORESTT, Saint-Flour Communauté, the EPL des Hautes Terres and local forestry experts.
