### Douglas fir
A symbol of height, ambition, and surpassing limits, the Douglas Fir is the tree of those who think big and dare to aim higher. It is **an inspiring gift to mark a graduation, a new role, or any project that is taking off fast**.
Its dense branches offer prime shelter for many nesting bird species, and its leaf litter enriches the forest floor with organic matter, feeding a rich and varied soil fauna. In mixed forests, it plays an essential structural role for the entire ecosystem.
The Douglas Fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) is a conifer native to the Pacific coast of North America, where it can exceed 100 metres in its natural habitat. Introduced to Europe in the 19th century, it is today one of the most widely cultivated species in forestry for the quality and durability of its timber.

### About Melgven forest
### About Melgven forest
Located in the Northwest of France in Brittany, the Melgven forest underwent clearcutting before we acquired it in 2020. The forest's name comes from the words "mell" (rounded hill) and "gwenn" (white). Thus Melgven means "the white hill".The forest grows on a northeast-facing slope with more than 1.000 mm yearly rainfall. The plot is suitable for Douglas fir and Chestnut, and the weed vegetation consists mainly of moor grass and ferns.
The area around the forest has historical sites dating back to the Gallo-Roman era.
