About Channay forest

The Channay forest grows in sandy terrain, where the soils drain and retain water poorly. In these conditions, very few tree species can survive. We acquired this forest at the same time as the Malicorne-sur-Sarthe forest, mainly planted with maritime pine trees, about 30 years old.
The long-term plan is for our foresters to promote natural regeneration and gradually introduce diverse species as they are thinning the forests.
