###  About Gioux forest 









###  About Gioux forest 







The Gioux forest covers 30 hectares of land, not far from the small village of the same name, in the Creuse department in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region in the south west of France.   
This forest is home to [Douglas fir](/en/species/2), [sitka](/en/species/1) and [larch](/en/species/19) trees which take root at an altitude of about 791 metres. Part of the forest was a clear-cut area before EcoTree took over the land. Our forestry management model will include using irregular high forestry - meaning we plant different species with different ages to make the forest resistant.

###  EcoTree’s initiatives 









###  EcoTree’s initiatives 







When management was taken over in 2018, planting was carried out on what was previously a clear cut. Since then, the saplings are doing well and a first weeding was carried out in 2021.  
We also applied Trico, a sheep fat-based repellent, on the saplings to protect them from deer browsing.   
The following year, inter-row mulching was done by our teams, to clear and count the saplings, before proceeding to a fill planting.
