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.

The forestry manager has decided not to carry out any clearing until the end of autumn, so that the grasses can protect the young tree saplings. He considers the young trees to be equally threatened by water shortage and by the intense heat of the summer UV rays. So while the grasses compete with them for water reserves, they offer in return a welcome shade. A few oaks have already been damaged by the heat, but the vast majority are doing well. The pond is teeming with life: frogs, odonates... ![Peyrat de Bellac forest](https://info-field-reports.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/field-reports/forest/peyrat-de-bellac/2026-05-29/F0B7VT10SG0_IMG_0533.jpg?d=128x128?d=128x128) ![Peyrat de Bellac forest](https://info-field-reports.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/field-reports/forest/peyrat-de-bellac/2026-05-29/F0B757445N0_IMG_0528.jpg?d=128x128?d=128x128) ![Peyrat de Bellac forest](https://info-field-reports.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/field-reports/forest/peyrat-de-bellac/2026-05-29/F0B7VT08ACQ_IMG_0518.jpg?d=128x128?d=128x128) ![Peyrat de Bellac forest](https://info-field-reports.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/field-reports/forest/peyrat-de-bellac/2026-05-29/F0B6L4V7JLF_IMG_0500.jpg?d=128x128?d=128x128) ![Peyrat de Bellac forest](https://info-field-reports.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/field-reports/forest/peyrat-de-bellac/2026-05-29/F0B7VT0MYF2_IMG_0503.jpg?d=128x128?d=128x128) ![Peyrat de Bellac forest](https://info-field-reports.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/field-reports/forest/peyrat-de-bellac/2026-05-29/F0B6V7F1QCT_IMG_0475.jpg?d=128x128?d=128x128) ![Peyrat de Bellac forest](https://info-field-reports.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/field-reports/forest/peyrat-de-bellac/2026-05-29/F0B6Y72QV7X_IMG_0460.jpg?d=128x128?d=128x128) ![Peyrat de Bellac forest](https://info-field-reports.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/field-reports/forest/peyrat-de-bellac/2026-05-29/F0B757410MS_IMG_0443.jpg?d=128x128?d=128x128) ![Peyrat de Bellac forest](https://info-field-reports.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/field-reports/forest/peyrat-de-bellac/2026-05-29/F0B7573SHPW_IMG_0267.jpg?d=128x128?d=128x128) ![Peyrat de Bellac forest](https://info-field-reports.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/field-reports/forest/peyrat-de-bellac/2026-05-29/F0B7VT10SG0_IMG_0533.jpg?d=240x135) ![Peyrat de Bellac forest](https://info-field-reports.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/field-reports/forest/peyrat-de-bellac/2026-05-29/F0B757445N0_IMG_0528.jpg?d=240x135) ![Peyrat de Bellac forest](https://info-field-reports.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/field-reports/forest/peyrat-de-bellac/2026-05-29/F0B7VT08ACQ_IMG_0518.jpg?d=240x135) ![Peyrat de Bellac forest](https://info-field-reports.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/field-reports/forest/peyrat-de-bellac/2026-05-29/F0B6L4V7JLF_IMG_0500.jpg?d=240x135) ![Peyrat de Bellac forest](https://info-field-reports.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/field-reports/forest/peyrat-de-bellac/2026-05-29/F0B7VT0MYF2_IMG_0503.jpg?d=240x135) ![Peyrat de Bellac forest](https://info-field-reports.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/field-reports/forest/peyrat-de-bellac/2026-05-29/F0B6V7F1QCT_IMG_0475.jpg?d=240x135) ![Peyrat de Bellac forest](https://info-field-reports.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/field-reports/forest/peyrat-de-bellac/2026-05-29/F0B6Y72QV7X_IMG_0460.jpg?d=240x135) ![Peyrat de Bellac forest](https://info-field-reports.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/field-reports/forest/peyrat-de-bellac/2026-05-29/F0B757410MS_IMG_0443.jpg?d=240x135) ![Peyrat de Bellac forest](https://info-field-reports.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/field-reports/forest/peyrat-de-bellac/2026-05-29/F0B7573SHPW_IMG_0267.jpg?d=240x135) PreviousNext [ See more ](#) See less [ See all news ](https://ecotree.green/en/news-from-the-field) ### Our trees available for purchase Discover the trees that inhabit the forest, become owners and support their sustainable management There are currently no trees for sale in this forest.
