About Préaux forest

The Préaux forest covers an area of around 10 ha. in Pays de la Loire. The area has beautiful valley landscapes with smaller, sparsely wooded patches resulting in denser bocage, mixed woodland and pasture terrain. The climate is temperate, oceanic, humid and mild, and has higher levels of rainfall than the rest of the region, more than 1.000 mm yearly.
This former farmland was afforested in the 1990s and bought by EcoTree in 2020. Our foresters manage this small forest of Sessile Oak, Ash, Wild Cherry and Black Walnut using an uneven-aged forest management plan.
Bordered by the Vaige River, the forest is also home to two ponds and abundant biodiversity.
