Six plots make up this young forest that benefits from a decent amount of rainfall, which this area around Massif Centrale, one of the major mountain ranges in France. The tree species are diverse, including Sessile Oak, Maritime Pine, Sycamore Maple, Chestnut, and Wild Cherry.

However, from October 2023 to March 2024, incessant rains in the Limousin region saturated the soil, making soil preparation difficult. The machinery used for soil work risked creating deep ruts in these wet conditions, compromising the quality of the work, the sustainability of the forest ecosystem, and potentially attracting justified criticism regarding the state of the fields. Therefore, the plantations are postponed to autumn 2024. This postponement will allow for better soil preparation, including weeding and plowing, which are essential for successful planting. We estimate that about two weeks without rain are necessary for the soil to regain sufficient load-bearing capacity to support the weight of the machines. Afterward, our foresters will, if necessary, carry out replanting, protect the young plants, and do their best to ensure that this young forest becomes a beautiful irregular high forest.

Wild animals have not been kind to the wild cherry trees, which have suffered damage. The forest manager is considering various ways to protect them. The oak trees are in good health. ![Nouic forest](https://info-field-reports.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/field-reports/unclassified/2026-05-29/F0B71L4AUGJ_IMG_0570.jpg?d=128x128?d=128x128) ![Nouic forest](https://info-field-reports.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/field-reports/unclassified/2026-05-29/F0B73F22P09_IMG_0572.jpg?d=128x128?d=128x128) ![Nouic forest](https://info-field-reports.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/field-reports/unclassified/2026-05-29/F0B6V8YLVUK_IMG_0571.jpg?d=128x128?d=128x128) ![Nouic forest](https://info-field-reports.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/field-reports/unclassified/2026-05-29/F0B758LT2GL_IMG_0566.jpg?d=128x128?d=128x128) ![Nouic forest](https://info-field-reports.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/field-reports/unclassified/2026-05-29/F0B758MG23E_IMG_0559.jpg?d=128x128?d=128x128) ![Nouic forest](https://info-field-reports.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/field-reports/unclassified/2026-05-29/F0B6L6C7AG7_IMG_0560.jpg?d=128x128?d=128x128) ![Nouic forest](https://info-field-reports.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/field-reports/unclassified/2026-05-29/F0B6V8Z4V0T_IMG_0555.jpg?d=128x128?d=128x128) ![Nouic forest](https://info-field-reports.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/field-reports/unclassified/2026-05-29/F0B758N1K28_IMG_0557.jpg?d=128x128?d=128x128) ![Nouic forest](https://info-field-reports.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/field-reports/unclassified/2026-05-29/F0B71L4AUGJ_IMG_0570.jpg?d=240x135) ![Nouic forest](https://info-field-reports.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/field-reports/unclassified/2026-05-29/F0B73F22P09_IMG_0572.jpg?d=240x135) ![Nouic forest](https://info-field-reports.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/field-reports/unclassified/2026-05-29/F0B6V8YLVUK_IMG_0571.jpg?d=240x135) ![Nouic forest](https://info-field-reports.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/field-reports/unclassified/2026-05-29/F0B758LT2GL_IMG_0566.jpg?d=240x135) ![Nouic forest](https://info-field-reports.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/field-reports/unclassified/2026-05-29/F0B758MG23E_IMG_0559.jpg?d=240x135) ![Nouic forest](https://info-field-reports.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/field-reports/unclassified/2026-05-29/F0B6L6C7AG7_IMG_0560.jpg?d=240x135) ![Nouic forest](https://info-field-reports.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/field-reports/unclassified/2026-05-29/F0B6V8Z4V0T_IMG_0555.jpg?d=240x135) ![Nouic forest](https://info-field-reports.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/field-reports/unclassified/2026-05-29/F0B758N1K28_IMG_0557.jpg?d=240x135) PreviousNext 5/20/26 Great news from the field! Conifers are thriving, and wild cherry and sycamore maple are doing really well. After a tough summer with two heat waves, we topped up the forest with 10,000 new trees in January 2026, and they're settling in nicely. We're keeping a close eye on deer activity in Plot 2 and will be adding "protective sleeves" on the most exposed trees this winter. Elsewhere, the vegetation is growing fast (a good sign!), and our team will step in where needed to give the young trees room to breathe. A site visit is planned for late summer to see how everything is progressing. ![Nouic
