Objectives

In 2018, we launched the " Trees for Future "to identify the most promising tree species for the future. adapting forests to climate change.

Thanks to your support, nearly 80,000 trees have been planted at 52 sites across our country. These are checked annually for growth, compliance and health.

We are pleased to invite you to one of the project plots to present our results and outlookbut also to share key forestry issues with you.

This Friends and Sponsors Day is also a unique opportunity for networking on the green.

This year, we will be looking at the threats posed by climate change to the health of our forests. In addition to the observations made through Trees for Future, we will be drawing parallels with MigFoRest, a European project to deploy assisted migration of tree species, for which SRFB is the lead partner.

Day mainly in French, with support in Dutch.
