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.

Vigorous measures to preserve biodiversity include the upkeep of the two ponds and the 2.4-hectare wetland area, as well as the preservation of existing hedgerows. A new edge of more than 4,000 m2 will also be planted to diversify habitats and strengthen ecological connectivity. These actions demonstrate our commitment to a sustainable and balanced environment.
