About Ploërdut 5 forest

Located in Brittany, our Ploërdut forest is made up of four individual plots that we acquired gradually over a period of time.

Here we will plant Douglas Fir, Redwood, Beech, Nordmann Fir, Sessile Oak, Scots pine, Western Red Ceder, Giant Redwood, Sitka spruce, Maritime Pine, and Monterey Pine with the aim of achieving a mixed forest with continuous cover.
