### Chestnut
A symbol of abundance, generosity, and longevity, the Sweet Chestnut is the tree of autumn feasts and generous harvests, one that has nourished people and animals alike for millennia. It is a warm and meaningful gift for a birth, a well-earned retirement, or any moment that celebrates fullness of life.
Its chestnuts are a vital food resource for wild boar, deer, squirrels, and many bird species in autumn, while its summer flowers are among the most nectar-rich in Europe, attracting a multitude of pollinators. A single mature chestnut can shelter hundreds of insect species on its own.
The Sweet Chestnut (Castanea sativa) is a deciduous tree native to southern Europe, capable of living several hundred years and reaching impressive dimensions. Its naturally moisture-resistant wood has been used for centuries in construction, cooperage, and furniture-making.

### About Pleyben forest
In Brittany, between the Monts d’Arrée and the Black Mountains (Montagnes Noires), lies the Pleyben forest. From the forest, you can catch a glimpse of the Mont Saint-Michel, the highest point in Brittany (385 m).
The forest is made up of more than ten different species, including Vancouver fir, sycamore maple, wild cherry, Sitka spruce, chestnut, Douglas fir and red oak. There is also a wealth of biodiversity, with a river and two ponds below the plot.
