The various plots are bordered by two rivers and cover nearly 50 hectares in total.Our objective is to have uneven-aged stands on all the plots, while at the same time enriching the existing biodiversity and increasing the production of timber and industrial wood within the framework of sustainable forestry. We took over the management of Faouët 5 i March 2022, where we have planted [Poplar](/en/species/21), [Douglas fir,](/en/species/2)[Maritime fir](/en/species/7), Beech, Monterey fir, and [Normand fir](/en/species/15).

We have also preserved a hedge and work is planned to maintain the wetland in the best possible condition. The presence of sago pondweed (a perennial aquatic plant) is proof of the relative purity of the water in the Diarnelez stream that borders the plot.
