On Ploërdut 1 a small area of [Douglas firs](/en/species/2) were preserved. However, the previous owner cleared the rest of the area. Thus, we are developing a new uneven-aged forest comprising multiple tree species such as Douglas fir, [Red Oak](/en/species/8), [Chestnut](/en/species/5), and [Scots pine](/en/species/23).

The following year the entire area was weeded out to give the young trees favourable conditions to grow. The trees were already growing very well when we did our second weeding in 2022. In February 2023, we weeded out once again and we layed down mulching across the entire area.

The study we conducted on the specific species in this area showed has potential conservation issues such as the Quimper snail. Two species, the Greater Horseshoe Bat and the Common Adder, have very high conservational value to biodiversity. The Viviparous Lizard and Bullfinch also have high conservation values, whilst five species, the whiskered bat, Natterer's bat, Common Pipistrelle, Common Serotine, and the large chequered skipper, have medium conservation values. Lastly, 12 other species have low conservation species. Semi-closed wetlands like this area are favourable conditions for all species. We have also applied for a ‘Wildlife Territory’-label.
