Get involved in conserving biodiversity

Bees and honey hedges

Pollination provides 80% of our food. Honey bees are the most efficient insects for this in terms of numbers. Their presence in certain forests is recommended, not only for their survival but for the life of plants and trees. Together with experts we define the forests where beehives can be installed. If necessary, we plant melliferous hedges. We care for the bees and harvest the honey.

Flower meadows

A flowering meadow allows the soil to rest between harvests and fits the framework of organic farming. Providing a wealth of biodiversity, flowering meadows are essential to the life of pollinating insects, birds and mammals. As part of our projects, we prepare the soil, sow and then plant seeds with great care to promote rare and native species.

Miyawaki-inspired forests

Akira Miyawaki developed a method where dense forests are planted alongside local and indigenous tree species to restore the ecosystem that was once there. At EcoTree, we identify native tree species, enrich the soil, protect it with mulch and plant the trees. We then maintain the trees and carry out an inventory of fauna and flora.

Agroforestry

Agroforestry is where trees and shrubs are planted on land dedicated to agriculture or grazing, which can make some crops produce better harvests. Trees enrich the soil by naturally adding nitrogen, as well as purifying water and maintaining soils. Of course, agroforestry allows farmers to diversify their income too, and our team studies and implements a number of projects.
