Cut by National Road 162, the forest will be neighbours to the Bigottière estate and its 19th-century castle. The land is divided into three plots, one on the top of a hill with a northeast-facing slope and another on the west bank of the Pont Martin stream. There are two beautiful ponds with splendid den trees and a wetland. The flora mainly consists of [Ash](/en/species/11), Common Oak, Norway Maple and Sycamore Maple, Herb-Robert Geranium, Cleaver, Hawthorn and [Wild cherry](/en/species/12). We plan to add more plantations to the area.

Additionally, we will be planting hedges and maintaining and preserving the existing hedges. In the years following the planting season, we will implement all actions related to our sustainable forest development: protection of the saplings with a natural repellent [Trico](https://ecotree.green/en/blog/how-to-protect-trees-with-trico-a-natural-animal-repellent), clearing of competing vegetation, supplementary planting if necessary, followed by first thinnings and development of access roads.
