Silver Fir

The Silver fir (Abies alba) is the tallest tree in Europe. It can reach 60 meters high. It is present in cold and humid environments at altitudes between 400 and 1500 meters above sea level. The trunk is straight and the branches are horizontal. It is typically planted together with Beech or Sylvester Pine. Moreover, the silver fir is generally managed in forests with mixed age groups. This allows the silver fir to be an interesting investment because this management method involves never going through a clear cut but rather harvesting every 7 years during thinnings. This type of management will ensure a regular income.

About Lacelle forest

The Lacelle forest is located in Corrèze (19) on the Limousin granite plateaus (Plateau des Millevaches) and is divided into three parts. An plot of 18 ha of meadows leased to a local farmer, a second plot of around 20 ha that was clear-cut back in 2013 and which has not been reconstituted, and a third plot of approximately 30 ha of tree stands. The Pradel stream runs through the plots. The tree stands will be managed as an irregular high forest, as will the clear-cut plot, on which reforestation is planned. Due to the clear-cutting carried out by the previous owner, which has not been reconstituted, it will take many years to recover a forest like this one but it has good potential for biodiversity. Our ambition is to manage this complex forest according to the principles of mixed forestry with a continuous cover, adopting Nature-based Solutions to restore and enhance biodiversity, while ensuring sustainable management of forest resources.
