Silver Birch

The Silver Birch (Betula pendula) or white birch is a tree species native to our region. It is now found all over Russia and as far away as Mongolia. Thanks to the lightness of its wind-blown seeds, it is one of the first trees to grow on bare land. It appreciates siliceous soils and is very resistant to spray and air pollution. Birch is grown in parks as a decorative tree. Its wood is used by bakers to bake bread and is highly appreciated by carpenters for its white, soft and silky appearance, which is easy to work with.

About Montplonne Forest

Between the communes of Montplonne and Stainville, the Montplonne Forest is located. The property is made up of 3 forest clusters comprising more than ten different species of trees. These include whitebeams, Austrian black pines and Norway maples.

We acquired this large forest in the autumn of 2022 with the aim of bringing it to its full potential by adapting our management to its natural characteristics. Sanitary cuts were carried out there by the previous owner to combat the spread of bark beetles due to repeated droughts and mild winters in recent years.
