About Chatelain forest

The Châtelain forest is located south of Mayenne in France, in a sparsely wooded area, making it a popular nature spot for local residents.
It is a former farmland that was planted and seeded in the 1990s. Its main species are Sessile Oak, Common Oakand ash. Hedges and banks with old trees have been preserved. Regular thinning and partitioning is required in this wood, otherwise the trees lack space and light to grow and natural regeneration cannot take place. The understorey of the Châtelain forest is mainly composed of grasses and brambles.
