The forest constantly renewed

Marker 2Among the various trees of all ages and sizes in this forest, humans compromise with nature by leaving certain species to grow and introducing others of their own choosing. Thus, young pines, beeches and spruces have naturally found their place here, following in the steps of a first generation of spruces (some of which can still be seen), creating a diversity that has been further enhanced by planting larches. Some small trees such as larches, of which roe deer and hares are particularly fond, are protected by netting or a tube around their base for the first few years of their lives. This great variety makes it possible to maintain or increase the forest’s biological diversity.
