The expected gross gain corresponds to the amount (in the selected currency) that we will pay you back when your trees have been cut. It is based on the natural growth rate of a tree, which is estimated at around 2% per year. This expected gain is referred to as “gross" because it is calculated on the basis of the price of the tree excluding VAT.

### Checker tree
A symbol of rarity, authenticity, and wild beauty, the Checker tree is one of the most discreet and precious trees in our forests, whose presence signals an ancient and well-preserved ecosystem. It is a truly unique gift for a nature lover, or to mark an occasion that calls for something genuinely out of the ordinary.
Its small white spring flowers are a valued nectar source for pollinators, and its orange autumn berries feed many frugivorous bird species and small mammals. Its presence in a woodland is often the most reliable indicator of an ancient forest with exceptional biodiversity.
The Checker tree (Sorbus torminalis) is a deciduous tree in the rose family, with lobed leaves that resemble those of a maple. Once used in folk medicine for its digestive properties. Today, it is recognised as a precious indicator species for the biodiversity of ancient woodlands.

### About Peyrat-de-Bellac Forest
### About Peyrat-de-Bellac Forest
Located in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine in central France, the Peyrat-de-Bellac forest stands out for its rich biodiversity. This land, which we acquired in May 2023, is home to a unique ecosystem of preserved meadows and ancient hedgerows. These wet meadows are managed sustainably, encouraging their specific flora. As crucial structural elements, the hedgerows are carefully maintained to support the local fauna. The aim is to afforest only a part of the property, thus preserving an open environment. Today, the forest is dominated by [sessile oaks](/en/species/4). The Peyrat-de-Bellac forest has another unique feature: it is home to the plant 'Galium debile', slender marsh-bedstraw, an endangered species in the Limousin region. This rare plant thrives on the banks of streams on unwooded plots of land.
